The Rams have been lacking a true speed threat on the outside ever since they traded away Brandin Cooks. Van Jefferson did a decent job last season, but he doesn’t have the 4.33 speed that Cooks does.
Seeing a need for another receiver, the Rams explored reuniting with Cooks at the trade deadline, talking to the Texans about the veteran wideout. According to Tom Pelissero, the Rams and Cowboys were both in discussion with Houston about a deal but no trade was made.
