Tom Brady had no problem with the New England Patriots trading Brandin Cooks, who led the team in snaps, targets, receptions, yards, yards per catch and touchdowns last season.

According to a source, the Patriots didn't see Cooks as a true No. 1 receiver. He was dealt to the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week in a deal that netted them a first-round pick.

Brady and Cooks didn't often connect down field, but he did help spread the field. Reports indicate that Cooks wasn't as precise with his routes as the Patriots desired.
