Trade him there for whom?

I don't know. Right now it's sounding like the compensation would be their pick #18 plus a mid-round pick for Cooks.

Coleman had 26 catches last year
With a Cooks trade Coleman becomes the number 3. F*** that.
Number 4 from last year? That's TL Lewis, with SEVEN catches. #5? No one. No other WR had a catch
If we are not getting an first and third this is a really bad deal for us
We have # 11 and # 43 and 35 million. Fix the defense with that.

Hell naw, Brandin Cooks is worth a first round pick, by that I mean us gaining their #5 spot and retaining our #11 and 2nd or 3rd and maybe a player his production speaks for itself, but I wouldn't be fast on the trigger unless we could FOR CERTAIN replace that production or more.

Free agency is coming I doubt Coleman would be our #3 if we do trade cooks...

Also, WRs taken by GB were there much lower in the draft...Abbrederis (5th #176)and Janis (7th #236).

Super deep in WR in 2014 and we trade up?

For those of you defending Cooks, the report says that he's the one pushing for the trade. That's a sign of a crappy attitude right there. What else does he have to do to show his true colors.? Pull an albert connell or worse,a joe horn?

He wants to be one of the "greatest". Not going to happen on this team. If he leaves though he's going to be even more unhappy. He likely will get more targets but those targets will miss the mark more.

No freaking kidding; we're about to blow up the best set of WR triplets in the league, all under 23 years old with good health...

Payton spent a 1st and a 3rd to get him; Cooks is 23 yo, back-to-back 1100 ReYd seasons with at least 6 ReTD's per - Return should be the 5th pick AND a 3R pick...

No freakin' less - Do you here me Loomis you putz? Don't give it up easy, Nancy!

In fact, the Mickster should excuse himself from the room and let Ireland & the adults with balls close the deal...

We need cb.'s, NT, DE, S and an OLB, some of this will come from FA but the draft is deep at DE, CB, and S and I look to see some true upgrades at CB this season in the draft. I also think Colemans progress made Cook tradeable. Now I hope Vaccarro gets a turn on the trading block.

'Weenie, you crack me up - You made a valid statement about Cooks' worth, then you went all Madden Football Insane and want to blow up the team in one draft...

Pittsburgh or Green Bay will reach for Watt at the end of the first round unless he has an abysmal combine...

All of a sudden, this looks like a possibility > No. 44 (R2, 12) WR Cooper Kupp, E. Washington; Height: 6' 2", Weight: 198 lbs.
