Silly. You didn't hear that. You simply heard those WR's were potentially on the trade market.

He signed a HUGE deal that clearly overpays him on a struggling team that clearly needs to rebuild... and then he gets pissed off demanding a trade when they rebuild and he doesn't want to take less money.
Just to be clear, Cooks remaining contract is 2 years for $39.75 million of which $36 million is guaranteed.
I could be wrong, but I don't think any team is trading much for Cooks when he's basically making $20 per season and over 90% of it is already guaranteed and therefore can't be negotiated downward.
If he wants a trade, he's going to work out a new contract with his new team and they're probably going to reduce that salary and guarantees. As Cooks currently making the 15th most for a WR, but not in the top 40 of any one stat (which is partly because he's on a bad team, but that's also why he got way over paid).
