Brandin Cooks

BREAKING: Saints Release First-Round Pick; Free to Join These Contenders

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Aaron Rodgers injury doesn’t appear to be serious, as current reports suggest the four-time MVP quarterback will return to the field in a week or two. However, what will the offense look like once he’s healthy again? D.K. Metcalf has been a good offseason addition, but the rest of the depth chart leaves something to be desired.

The present-day Brandin Cooks might not be the ideal WR2 the Steelers have been trying to find for months on end, but he could be a valuable role player for a team looking for its first playoff win in nearly a decade. The Marquez Valdes-Scantling signing shows the team is looking for another vertical threat, and Cooks may have more in his tank than the former Packer.
