Brandin Cooks Wants to Sign With a Team Before Training Camp

Friday, July 10, 9:25 AM

Veteran free-agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks intends to be on a roster within the next few weeks before training camps start around the NFL, according to Tim Graham of The Athletic. Cooks' agent, Ryan Tollner, said plenty of contending teams have extended offers to his client, but the 32-year-old veteran's preference is to run it back with the Buffalo Bills. "Obviously, Buffalo is the place I'd love to be," Cooks said. "I want to prove that to them and have a full offseason with them. Both sides are figuring things out. We'll see, but hopefully something transpires because I love going to training camp. That's where you build that callus." He's exactly 189 yards from reaching the 10,000-yard mark for his career, something only 52 WRs have done before. Cooks has never made the Pro Bowl despite being the only player to have three straight 1,000-yard seasons with different teams. The former first-rounder by the New Orleans Saints in 2014 caught 24 of 36 targets for 279 yards and no touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (five starts) with the Saints and Bills last year. If he latches on with a team this summer, Cooks will be battling to make the 53-man roster out of camp.

George Kittle News

George Kittle Not Yet Participating in Competitive Periods

Wednesday, August 26, 7:00 AM

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro tight end George Kittle (Achilles) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Sunday and has since taken part in two training camp practices, though his involvement has been limited to non-competitive periods, according to 49ers digital editor Brooke Evans. On Tuesday, Kittle continued to run routes against air while working with quarterbacks and the offensive line in hopes of a potential return to action for a Week 1 divisional matchup with the Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Kittle ruptured his Achilles in a Wild Card playoff game against the Eagles less than eight months ago and has made remarkable progress just to get to this point, but now almost 33 years old and coming off a serious injury, there are reasons to fade Kittle as draft season ramps up. That said, he has been one of the position's most exciting and productive players for the better part of a decade, and even without the benefit of a possible early-season IR stash, he could prove to be one of the best values in 2026 drafts at his current ADP of TE13.
