Agreed and i think its a good thing for all the involved parties. Holdouts are damaging for the player and the team.

Hard not to agree, the salaries for rookies were out of control. More than fair this new deal.

Re: Saints sign first-round pick Brandin Cooks
 

We are one of three teams that have already agreed or signed their first round pick/s

This is fair to everyone involved. It is good for the team and player.......not to mention the fans.

Re: Saints sign first-round pick Brandin Cooks
 

this is a very important signing early, get him on that practice field with drew and company asap. let that mixture form. this guy will get us back to the out of this world offense we had in paytons brainbustin plays that just marched us up and down the field at ease. he has that come back want in him to let drew dump to him, just cant wait.

+1, no doubt.

Learn your playbook.. not just Cooks but for ALL of our rookies. Anyone ever watch NFL Hard knocks ? The first thing a coach/grim reaper will tell a rookie who don't cut it is ... "coach needs to see you. Bring your playbook".

One can only imagine how big Payton's playbook is.

Our "off-season" moves and the draft have me really pumped for the season. More so than in past years. I can't wait to see these guys on the field.
