Would much rather have the wr we could get at 14. Control his salary for 4 years. Williams/Davis, big receivers, both have higher ceiling ...esp Davis

We'll be fine. We never had a WR like Cooks. We actually do better with a bunch of average Joes just happy to be starting on a team with no attitude about touches. Look at the Pats this year, their WR's were hot and cold all season. Nobody said a word and none of them are that special. Edelman man only had 3 TDs.

2013-2015 average joes worked just fine.

I guess we'll see what comes to fruition. But if Cooks wants out, show him the door while getting compensated fairly. The current staff has never cared for "me first" players and had gotten rid of them quickly.

The next week should be entertaining to say the least.

One of the announcers at the Combine had the Saints on the LF short list. Really? Not even sure how they came to that conclusion. I will say though Blount sure did give Brady a lot of relief this season. 18TD for Blount. Sure makes the job of an older QB a hell of a lot easier.

That's Ingram's job to do since he's the "Blount" of our team.

Ingram is no 240lb Blount. Ingram can do a lot of things good. Blount can't do all that but he does do one thing great; scored TD's almost every single game on the GL. Only 3 games he did not score.

Actually that's one of Ingram's srengths. Scoring at the goal line. They just don't always run it in or have used the likes of Hightower, Cadet, or Kuhn or some gadget run play by Fleener.

The saints just do not commit to Ingram like that.
