Drew Brees

Trade Cooks for a defensive player. He's great of course, but isn't the "stud" I think New Orleans expected him to be.

It's not that easy. People always throw out trades. This isn't baseball. Player for player trades are very rare. There are multiple years of salary caps involved. They just aren't done.

Brees isn't the problem. He had a bad game for sure but without him we would be looking at our 3rd 1-2 win seasons in a row. He can still perform at an elite level. Tell me another option that's available that would be better. If we keep him protected and get some real playmakers at TE and receiver it will extend his career. For this reason getting rid of Cooks is dumb. We have money this offseason and can afford a couple good pieces.
