Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

Surprised they turned that down
Must really think they can get multiple or that the Eagles will panic. Best hope is the top WR sign elsewhere soon and Tennesse and Philli panic

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

I saw someone elsewhere making a comparison to the Vikings trading Percy Harvin to the Seahawks a couple years ago. The Vikings received a 1st and 7th and I think a mid-round pick the next year.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

Talking with one of my best friends from Boston about the New England's interest in Cooks and Cooks trade value gave me some perspective...

I was banging the table that we should at least get a first and third and at a higher position than where we took Cooks...

He agreed with me that Cooks' value will never be higher, but he offered this caveat...

Why should teams have to match what the Saints gave up if Loomis & Payton over paid to begin with?

And I realized as he said this, he was absolutely right; I remember (and posted often) this same sentiment...

Now there's no question in my mind Cooks is a Top 5 WR in the league right now, and probably more valuable given his age, health, and resume...

Mark agreed with me that swapping with the Titans and sending Cooks and even getting a second was a hose job...

And he didn't think the Pats giving their first and second would be wise and that their first and third was not a move the Saints should make...

So it's a quandary Payton and the Mickster will have to reconcile and will never fully get out from underneath the rightful criticism they get for over reaching in drafts...

So we'll soon find what kind of trade package Cooks will net and then we can nitpick it...

Personally, after reflecting on my friend's outside perspective, I'd like a deal with Tennessee where we get a Top 5 pick and maybe swap our 4th round pick for their 3rd would be about as good as we may get...

If it were the Eagles, in our division, I'd want their first, or the Vikings first and their third or their first and Kendricks and Sproles (if we could mend fences)...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

Take the pick and a conditional one based on performance. I think that is fair. He's not a WR1.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

I think Marshall being off the market adds to BC's value.
I love that we are not settling for just the 18th pick

but, as this draws out, anyone else feel that Cooks is going to explode next year with 100 catches? I get the "he's not a #1" argument, but with Brees and our offense, who will truly be a number 1?

What if the Saints are willing to stand pat and keep Cooks through next season? It does not appear they are just giving him away for 1 draft pick who may or may not pan out.
