Again, Cooks is a very young man. Butler, maybe 2 years left at his age. No unless it's that and 32.

I'm afraid Butler will end up being just another system guy. Works great within the framework of their scheme, with the help of the surrounding talent. Bring him here to a new scheme with less talent around him.. I don't like the idea. I rather a draft pick(s)

The Pats tendered Butler for a 1st round draft pick. So I'm sure the Pats think this is a "wash" for both teams. Ick...IDK. I wouldn't mind Butler, but he's gonna be expensive and I really think he's more of a product of their system. The money he wants may not be what he's worth.

He's 27. So he's still young enough. I just don't know.

I dont think Butler is a system guy he was prolly just a diamond in the rough player from a small school. Hell you dont get 35 pass breakups in three years two of actual starting being a system guy you got to have some kind of talent and football i.q. But i would not trade them straight up. Picks would have to be involved as well.

For what it's worth, here's Walter Football's take on this potential trade...

"Wow. The Patriots just spent big money on Stephon Gilmore, but their interest in Cooks is surprising, as Tom Brady seems to have an adequate amount of weapons. The Saints seem like they'd win that trade, as they'd obtain a legitimate shutdown corner. Butler would be huge for New Orleans' awful defense." -Walter

Makes no sense
He needs a new top dollar deal. Why not keep Cooks and pick up one of the top FA CB instead

I'm sure that's probably the hold up. He probably wants a huge salary.

No no no and no again
