(SportsRadio 610) -- The Texans are trading for Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks, according to multiple media reports.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network first reported Thursday afternoon that Cooks was on the move again, this time to Houston.
The Texans are sending a second round pick (this year's 57th overall) to the Rams, according to Rapoport and Mark Berman of Fox 26. The Texans are also getting a future fourth-round pick, the reports said.
The Texans created a need at wide receiver last month after trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals.
Hopkins had been their most productive receiver since he was drafted in 2013.
Bill O'Brien cited a contract dispute as the reason for trading Hopkins, who has three years and nearly $40 million left on his deal.
Cooks will earn a base salary of $8 million from the Texans this season. The Rams already paid his $4 million roster bonus.
The Texans go into the draft with a wide receiver group led by Cooks, Will Fuller, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills. They also have a new play-caller in offensive coordinator Tim Kelly.
Cooks has 402 catches for 5,730 yards and 34 touchdowns in six NFL seasons. He played for the New Orleans Saints from 2014-2016 before a stop with the New England Patriots in 2017, when current Texans executive Jack Easterby worked there as well.
Cooks had been with the Rams since 2018.
