Thomas didn't seem to have much trouble against the likes of Richard Sherman.

Sherman was not on Cooks. Well, he had 60 something yards and no TDs. and here we go again.

If we don't go to the super bowl this season we probably won't go to one at all.

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

BusDriver · 03-02-2017, 10:30 AM

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

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).

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'm calling bull**** until the deal goes down

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

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.
