Yeah. What's the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. You don't trade away one of your best offensive weapons, especially when offense is the strength of your team. If you wanna fix the defense try something else.

With Payton already saying this, I believe a deal is already done.

As much as I like Cooks I agree. And it won't be a bad thing. Brees' strength is throwing receivers open. That means throwing it where only the WR can get to it. At 5'10" that takes high out of the equation. I think they may have figured that out. Thomas, Coleman and Fleener don't have to be open to be "open". Cooks does and is great doing it, but it's not the same.

He didn't say anything. He said the same thing on the Saints official website.

Torrey Smith. This guy could be solid addition.

I was thinking the same thing. With Thomas and Cooks taking swipes at each other, one has to go. Let it be the one complaining.

Thomas is not taking swipes at him. There was nothing said to that effect that I am aware of, just something that was made up at this point for a header like almost everything these days.

He may not have meant it to be a shot, but Cooks took it as one and responded with "trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers." Subtweets are very real. This is pretty normal with my generation to make passive aggressive social media posts about each other and to deny that it was about the person it was about.

I thought you would know this, that quote is from Drake's Back to Back. They were playing lyrics for fun.
