Report: Broncos aren't in the mix for Brandin Cooks

Brandin Cooks has left the New Orleans Saints for the second time, seeking freedom in exchange for $2.11 million in current and future salary. Speculation has arisen about his potential landing spots, with the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, and Buffalo Bills being considered. However, the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson reports that the Broncos are not interested in signing Cooks. Cooks, originally drafted by the Saints in 2014 and later traded to the Patriots, has connections with current Broncos head coach Sean Payton, but a reunion is not on the cards. The Bills and Rams remain potential destinations, with Buffalo potentially benefiting from additional targets for quarterback Josh Allen and Los Angeles possibly utilizing Cooks in a role similar to Tutu Atwell. The decision to forgo over $2 million in guarantees raises questions about Cooks' intended destination.
