Overview
- Buffalo announced the signing Tuesday after Brandin Cooks cleared waivers following his release by the Saints.
- Cooks has 729 career receptions for 9,697 yards and 60 touchdowns, though he logged just 19 catches for 165 yards with New Orleans this season.
- The move addresses an unsettled receiver room in which Khalil Shakir leads the team in catches and Keon Coleman has recently been a healthy scratch.
- It remains uncertain whether Cooks will be active for Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh, though he joined the 53-man roster.
- Reporting indicates New Orleans reworked Cooks’ contract to limit future guarantees and he relinquished termination pay to expedite his exit, making Buffalo the sixth team of his career.
