Where could the $124 million dollar sign?

Brandin Cooks isn’t the same wideout he was when he played with the New Orleans Saints. Nonetheless, he still has some juice left. Furthermore, he has said that he wants to continue playing. Hence, I’m going to lay out the best fits for him.
Buffalo Bills
Nick Shook of NFL.com broke the news that Cooks intends to go back to Bills mafia. It’s interesting that Cooks wants to go back to the Bills, as he has only played five career games with the Bills. It doesn’t hurt that Josh Allen has won an MVP recently and that the Bills are a heavyweight team.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles may have drafted WR Makai Lemon, but I don’t believe he’s quite ready to fill in the shoes of AJ Brown. The Eagles could use more explosiveness at WR. Saquon Barkley can open up the play-action game for Jalen Hurts. Cooks can thrive off it deep down the field.
Pittsburgh Steelers
A-Rod wants to go out swinging in his last NFL season. Just as the Bucs brought in Antonio Brown to join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, the Eagles should had Cooks to join Devonta Smith and Lemon. The Eagles have a couple of sure-handed WRs. It’s time for deep threat to join their ranks.
San Francisco 49ers
It appears the 49ers players are made of glass. Ricky Pearsall played nine games last season, Kittle played 11 games, and Brandon Aiyuk didn’t play at all last season. Cooks is the type of WR that Kyle Shanahan could really get creative with. He brings leadership to a young group.
Cincinnati Bengals
I’d love to see the Bengals load up on more talent. They may have the best WR tandem in the league. I don’t want to see them stop there. After all, Cincy is in countless shootouts. Andrei Losivas is the third top WR right now. He recorded 435 yards last season. Cooks could really compete for the WR3 spot.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints drafted Brandin Cooks and he played many marvelous seasons with them. He went full circle and played with them for a moment last season. He may be intrigued by playing with them now, as Tyler Shough has really grown.
New York Jets
The Jets need all the help they can get. Geno Smith threw 17 ints last season and 19 in the season before that. The Jets have Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall. They also drafted Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of 2026. It’s time to mix in some leadership.
