Bills GM has talked with six-time, 1,000-yard wide receiver about possible return
Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he's had conversations with Brandin Cooks and his agent.
Brandin Cooks was a catch for the Buffalo Bills last season, even if a game-changing pass his was in the playoffs wasn't. Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that Buffalo has remained in contact with the veteran free agent wide receiver about a possible return after Cooks made a late impact in 2025. "Have had conversations not only with his agent but with him as well," Beane said Monday at the NFL Annual League Meeting in Phoenix.
"Really love what he did for us at the end of the season last year. I think kind of what I said, seeing how the draft falls, seeing what our numbers are. I think that's kind of where he's at, too, making sure he doesn't going somewhere and a team drafts someone.
" Cooks' Bills tenure started slowly after he signed on Nov. 25 after being waived by the New Orleans Saints. He caught just one pass for 13 yards on five targets through his first four games in Buffalo.
Then he flashed why the Bills added him as a vertical threat for Josh Allen. Cooks, 32, had four catches for 101 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, the last 100-yard receiving game by a Bills player in either th regular season or playoffs. He followed that with five catches for 78 yards over Buffalo's two postseason games.
