Mark Ingram teammate had strong, NSFW reaction to trade
As reported earlier, former Alabama running back Mark Ingram has been traded back to the New Orleans Saints where he played 8 seasons with the team, but not everyone is thrilled by the trade.
Texans wideout Brandin Cooks was not happy at all with the trade and express his feeling about it via Twitter.
Brandin Cooks is a locker-room leader and the type of player Houston wants to try to build around.

Ingram, along with his Texans teammates, has struggled this year. Ingram has only rushed for 294 yards and one touchdown thus far.
Cooks is the Texans leading receiver with 502 yards and 1 touchdown and some NFL experts think he may be on the move next for the team.
Field Yates of ESPN said this via Twitter about the possibility of a Cooks’ trade.
*IF* the Texans were to make Brandin Cooks available in a trade, he’d be a valuable/realistic target for several teams because of his salary. He’s due ~$1.5M for the rest of this year.
Hard to find affordable trade targets that would bring as much of an impact as Cooks could.

Cooks may be upset because he, along with Ingram, has been one of a few Texan players who have been productive this season.
