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.

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.

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

I know where it came from. It's not a coincidence that Cooks posted that after Thomas posted what he posted. People use song quotes to sub tweet all the time. I mean ALL the time. As soon as Thomas posted that quote it wasn't even 5 minutes before Cooks responded...then he deleted the tweet. Thomas probably told him it wasn't about him, but Cooks definitely thought it was.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

The trade of Cooks seems to be Done deal.
Any thing less than #5 or player and # 15 would not make me happy.
Cooks is a young elite player you need to get big value in order to trade for unproven picks.
I get the reason the Saints want to make the move and I am not opposed if we milk it for all its worth.
We could get J. Allen and Rueben Foster and numerous other combinations . You have to offer something of value to have someone trade.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

I did in fact watch the Instagram video live but was a tad bit late to the scenario that was playing out...Keenan had went live several times. I don't follow him, but knew things were being said so i tuned in. Someone was on speaker phone with him but theres no way to tell it was definitively Michael Thomas. Nothing huge was said, but it was DEFINITELY Keenan trying to stir the pot and get the person on the other end to talk crap as well. From what i gathered Keenan believed Willie Snead was talking down about him and calling Keenan a Bum, where exactly He heard that from, i don't know. My man Willie actually jumped on the live video as a viewer and told Keenan that was a lie & "fake news" then Keenan kinda back tracked on talking crap about Snead and tried explaining himself to which Willie responded "10/4." That was about the end of that. Bottom line...Keenan was just acting like a fool the entire day, airing out dirty laundry & talking ignorant. I have no respect for him after that drama. Love me some Willie Snead though.

I personally love what Cooks is about on and off the field, but business is business i guess. For the right price i totally understand moving on from him to fix this defense, but I sure will miss The Archer. Here's to no less than a 1st and 3rd/4th for him.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

See the Saints fan on there saying he has heard Cooks and 11 for 5 and 18

Thoughts
Not sure myself. Id like a 3/4 to sweeten that a bit.

5 would be great and 18 still bery good.
