I'd like to see him stay. But Michael Thomas made him kind of expendable. We still have Snead. But it's better to have a little too much at the position then not enough. After Snead the experience/talent of our WRs drop off considerably.

I wouldn't trade him for swapping picks. He's worth at least a #1.

Trade him for #5 and mid round pick, sigh Lesean Jackson to be vertical threat, and draft defense with 5 & 11 picks.

Players usually play better before a big money year.

1st and 2nd from the Titans and maybe an average DE. Cooks is a proven commodity. They would be taking a gamble with picks.

Speed threat is a role and Cooks is limited. You've seen him taken out of a game at times if a solid defense takes away the deep ball. If he eventually leaves and/or traded, the cup board isn't bare. We already know what we have in Micheal Thomas.

Cooks will be very expensive after this year (he could walk/re sign elsewhere and the Saints would have nothing).

New Orleans Saints' Brandin Cooks on radar of Eagles, Titans


Good grief, if we only get a rd 1 for him I'm going to be pissed. We gave up a 3rd to move up in the first to get him. A rd 1 is not enough. Rd 1 and a rd 2 or 3+ picks is a must or moving up to get him was a wasted pick.

We can pick up the 5 year option for him next year which would be about 6 million. After that drew will probably be gone and we will recover 9 million in dead money. If he is traded we need to get a butt load of picks.

I am warming up to this trade , COOKS FOR #5 ELITE PASS RUSHER, LB OR CB AT 11. We are likely to get Sullivan.. Garrett . Thomas . Foster LB or Lattimore CB. IMHO that makes a better team. Hate to lose Cooks but he is easier to replace than a pass rusher. Make it happen Loomis
