Because you remove cancer. You don't let it sit there and grow.

But from recent reports, it sounds as though Cooks is a growing cancer in the locker room. I like team mates who like to see others succeed as well as the team, not complain that he didn't score or record a catch in a 28 point win. He didn't try to hide it either, he went straight to the media.

I'd agree with you if Cooks didn't pose a problem, but I think his attitude is detrimental to a team filled with young talent.

I forgot that at the end of the season we signed Corey Fuller off the Lions practice squad. I'm not saying he'll make us forget all about Cooks, but he's 6' 2" and runs a 4.34. I think he'll get a good look this offseason at being our deep threat.

Reports from outside the locker room. Who knows where those rumors come from. Are they true? Maybe, either way don't get screwed over.

Some of y'all acting like Brandon Cooks made Drew Bree's what he is and makes up the Saints offense....

Idk why people are so high on LF. If he was so good he would of lit up alabama each time they played but i think he averaged no more than 2.5 ypc at best one game. Id believe the hype if he did but he didn't and everyone knows alabama is as close to playing a nfl defense as it gets in college. And he is injury prone. Not top 5 material in my book.

Don’t let all this Cooks trade talk distract you from the fact that 25 days ago the Falcons blew a 25 point lead and lost the SB

When has he complained other than that one time? Players blow off steam. They are competitive. Things are said in the heat of the moment. He even apologized. It's only a problem if it continues to happen. Did he say something else? I'm not being a dick, just haven't heard anything else from him. If he has done it again then I agree, they should let him go.
