The Buffalo Bills and upcoming free agent WR Brandin Cooks were a match made in purgatory last season. Josh Allen finally had a receiver he trusted to get open and get the ball to, despite the fact that Cooks didn't haul in many big ones. Cooks himself found an offense and locker room he was happy to be in.
It wasn't perfect, but that shouldn't be the enemy of good. The 2026 wide receiver free agent market is very thin. Keeping Brandin Cooks could be the wisest move the Bills can make.
