Well, maybe they are out for a possible Cooks trading partner.

Yeah I think they're out. No new news from the Titans either....wonder whats going on there.

I'd much rather pay Butler (need) rather than pay Cooks (nice to have).

Scratch off this deep threat in NO ...

Torrey Smith, 3-year deal for $15mil with the Eagles, per source.

What are the chances that we can't come to an agreement with anyone, and have a disgruntled cooks on the roster this coming up year? I know free agency is just starting, but for some reason, with this management, I feel its a real possibility.

$5 million a year. That's an extremely affordable contract. I really thought he'd be a good addition to the Saints. He would have fit well in the Devery Henderson role now that we have our Lance Moore and Marques Colston. Robert Woods could finish it off as our Robert Meachem...and I'm not opposed to signing Eddie Lacy and Reggie Bush. The anticipation of what we're going to do is killing me.

So then pay another FA corner the same.
Not many leave New England for success. Dont want this deal at all. The Pats obviously don't think he is worth 12ml a year or they'd have paid it. We dont pay him that and he walks next year.
