Brandin Cooks spoke publicly for the first time since the trade deadline, admitting to being frustrated.
Cooks wanted to be traded to a contender because of the Texans' poor record.
Cooks wants to win and compete now. That's been what I've been thinking about.
Cooks has 354 yards and 32 catches. The Texans couldn't find a trade partner because of Cooks' new contract, which will pay him $18 million.
Cooks didn't play in the loss to the Eagles because of personal reasons. He is expected to play in the Texans game against the Giants.
The on-field product isn't the only thing that makes people frustrated. The veteran wouldn't say why he wanted to be dealt at the deadline.
I was angry. Cooks said that he wanted to win. It's what's happening. That's how I said I was sad. We all want to win. All of us are frustrated in some way. I'm going to keep that internal, even though that's some of it.
After the trade deadline passed, Cooks sent out a message.
Cooks warned against taking a man's kindness for granted. It was covered for too long. I want to cross the line with my career.
The "lies" comment was not explained by Cooks.
Cooks won't be thinking about his future with the team in the off-season.
Cooks said to take it one day at a time. We will keep that internal, for the time being, for everything else getting worked out.
