Dallas Trade is “Better Late Than Never” For Cooks - DallasCowboys.com

"Better late than never," Cooks said. "I'm extremely excited and blessed for the opportunity to come to a worldly organization like this. I can't wait to get to work with the guys and go out and win some games."

Cooks joins a team in Dallas that has won 12 or more games each of the last two seasons. In his three years in Houston, Cooks only saw the Texans win 11 games total.

Not only recent success, but the mystique of the Cowboys is something Cooks talked about in his first visit to The Star.

"It's just the standard. You hear about the Dallas Cowboys in every household in the world," Cooks said. "To be able to put that star in your helmet is definitely a privilege and I just want to be part of something. Great group of guys from afar with a great quarterback like Dak leading the way."

Cooks is one of two players (Brandon Marshall) in NFL history with 1,000-yard receiving seasons with four different teams. With that, he's played with future Hall of Famers such as Drew Brees and Tom Brady, along with Jared Goff and Deshaun Watson. He said Dak reached out to him on Sunday after hearing about the trade.

"I've met him before a handful of times and talked to him," Cooks said. "He reached out as soon as he heard the news and I told him I can't wait to get to work."

Speaking of the "work," Cooks is no stranger to switching teams, having played with the Saints, Patriots, Rams and Texans over his career. He said the biggest part of making the adjustment happens around this time, when he first meets the coaches, players and strength staff.

"I would say the biggest thing is the offseason – being able to get to know your coaches and teammates," Cooks said. "Just coming in and show them how you're going to work and what you're about."

Known for his speed, Cooks said his fastest official time was 4.33 at the combine. But even though that was in 2014, he was adamant that he hasn't lost a step.

"There's no doubt," Cooks said. "I'll do it again, to this day."

Equity benchmarks declined in initial trade on Thursday after a two-day rally, in line with a weak trend in global markets.

Also, a weak trend in index major Reliance Industries and IT counters added to the pressure.

The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 341 points to 57,873.59 after a weak beginning. The broader NSE Nifty declined 97.8 points to 17,054.10.

Among the Sensex stocks, Asian Paints, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Reliance Industries, HDFC, Power Grid and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the biggest laggards.

Tata Motors, Nestle, Larsen & Toubro and Bharti Airtel were among the gainers.

In Asia, Seoul, Japan and Shanghai markets were trading lower, while Hong Kong quoted in the green.

The US markets had ended sharply lower on Wednesday.

"Markets may witness a cautious start with the bias tilted towards bears amid weakness in the overnight US markets after the Fed increased interest rate by 25 basis points, which came as per the street expectations," said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, in his pr-market opening quote.

The 30-share BSE benchmark advanced 139.91 points or 0.24 per cent to settle at 58,214.59 on Wednesday. The Nifty climbed 44.40 points or 0.26 per cent to end at 17,151.90.

Meanwhile, global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.91 per cent to USD 75.99 per barrel.

Foreign Portfolio Investors turned buyers on Wednesday as they bought equities worth Rs 61.72 crore, according to exchange data.
