Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
I've been thinking that same thing this whole time. Everybody seems to think we should get at least what we used to get him. But here's the thing: Other teams don't give a damn what we invested in him. It's not their fault we traded up for him.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
then you have to go way back to pages 8-10 of this thread and look at everyone who was already apprehensive about trading him

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
If I were the Saints,
I'd give my #1 pick every year for a proven player with another team that is just 24 years old and has never had a serious injury. Imagine how much better our team would be. This is why taking anything short of his true value doesn't make any sense. Think of the turd players we drafted and it becomes immediately clear. |

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
We didn't come to the Titans or the Eagles with the trade offer. Meaning we didn't have any real intentions on trading, so we have the upper hand in negotiations. You can give us(Saints) what we want for what we have that you want or you can keep it moving while we run it up with Cooks and they will still be looking for that WR threat.

As I said in my earlier post on the thread, it's not because we have to recover what Payton/Loomis overcompensated for in the trade with the Chefs, but because of Cooks' value as a 23 year old Top 5 wide receiver who is a No. 1 wideout, despite his dimunitive stature... It's just we have two No.1 WRs now and we need to spread the talent... |

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
At a minimum cooks is worth a # 15 draft pick according to NFL draft value chart.
I would not trade him for less than a #1 and a three or #1 and a player that could start on our team. If we cant make that happen I would bail. My Ideal trade would be #5 and #18 For Cooks and # 11 If I did my math correctly that would give us a +330 on the value chart or the equivalent of a # 25 2nd rd pick. The Titans get a young veteran high character productive star receiver sure thing. |
