If the Pats are offering anything you know its loaded to them. It always is.

True. I would never make any deals with the Pats. Almost a given you are going to get the short end of the stick. All of these proposals are weak. Cook's is a damn good WR. No less than a 15th or go away.

I can't really disagree with what you're saying, but I'm fine with doing this trade. We need a shutdown CB and we think this can be our guy. Does it have down side and risk? Absolutely. Let's wait and see what happens and if there are picks involved.

2 or 3 years 8ml a year would be cool for Barwin as long as its only 2 years guaranteed. Add him and a Pass rusher in the draft and its a huge upgrade

I don't think our issue has been cornerback, even with the backups playing most of the season...

Our problem was an ineffective, overpaid free safety and NO PASS RUSH...

Or Cooks will not get moved (traded) in 2017 & I wouldn't have a problem with that either.

Cooks will need a new deal soon as well.... we need A CB ! I would love this trade !

lee909 · 03-09-2017, 10:53 AM

Cooks needs a new deal in 2 years. He is cheap in 17/18 and you can tag him in 19 too

With Ginn signed, Cooks is already traded...

I agree. Sounds to me like they're just working out details. They already have someone to take the top off the defense. Cooks is probably as good as gone in the next day or so.
