Golden Nuggets: Welcome to the Bay, Brandin Cooks!

Brandin Cooks will be a nice addition. I wonder how much juice he has left but his veteran experience will be necessary to get him up-to-speed in the offense.

49ers add veteran Brandin Cooks to reinforce ailing wide receiver corps (paywall) "Cooks last played for the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills in 2025. In 15 combined games, he caught 24 passes for 279 yards. The Stockton native is well past his prime, having last racked up 1,000-plus receiving yards with the Houston Texans in 2021. Nonetheless, Cooks was one of the most accomplished receivers on the market, ranking sixth among active players in career receiving yards (9,811), receptions (734) and receiving touchdowns (60). Cooks and Brandon Marshall are only two players in NFL history with 1,000-yard receiving seasons with four teams."
