McVay absolutely needed Cooks to run his offense. But as he has had to adapt to what defenses are throwing at him, and the lack of time Goff has had in the pocket, Cooks might now be a luxury. Thru 5 games Goff was last in deep balls (20+ yards downfield) attempted (5.9%). So to me, guys like Woods and kupp become even more valuable and a deep threat making 18 mil per is looking like an anchor around the Rams cap.
I don't think Gurley is right physically, but he can still contribute in a big way. Cooks can't if they can't get him the ball deep.
Both contracts don't look great IMO.
