Overview
- Buffalo announced Cooks’ addition to the 53-man roster on Tuesday after the 32-year-old cleared waivers following his New Orleans release.
- Cooks becomes the sixth team of his 12-year career, bringing six 1,000-yard seasons and career totals of 729 catches, 9,697 yards and 60 touchdowns.
- His 2025 production was limited with the Saints, posting 19 receptions for 165 yards in 10 games on an offense that struggled to generate passing yardage.
- The move targets help for Josh Allen in a receiver group that has lacked consistent separation, with Keon Coleman recently a healthy scratch and Dalton Kincaid sidelined by a hamstring injury.
- Reports indicate the Saints reworked Cooks’ deal and that he relinquished termination pay to expedite free agency, and Buffalo will assess if he can debut against the Steelers in Week 13.
