Ginn Jr is inconsistent and 32. This could be primarily a KO signing more than a Cooks' replacement.

You sure? Philly signed Torrey & the Saints FO already turned down offers from NE and the Titans. We could be running out of trading partners unless the Browns and/or Jacksonville get involved.

Edit: See Cooks post below.

I am sick of always taking patriots' players. We don't have their defensive personnel.

Cooks has gone imo
The money needs saved if they are trying to get Fairley and Zietler under contract

I don't like this trade for several reasons...first...Cooks is younger and is the only WR we have that can stretch the defense. They better have a hell of a plan to add speed to the WRs. Secondly, I bet the Patriots get Gilmore cheaper than we can get Butler signed for. If the Patriots are willing to move on from Butler for a WR that they truly don't need then that raises a flag to be... .buyer beware....

Butler swap doesn't make sense for us because we've got Del Breaux who's gonna have to get extended among others...

Second, we wanted to add a taller, longer cornerback and that's not Malcolm Butler's physical attributes...

Third, the pass rush and the backstop at safety have been more the problem in the pass defense than CB...

Fourth, he's gonna command waaaay too much money in a contract extension, why not trade with Titans and get a younger CB?

Id hold fire on Butler-Cooks
The Pats dont wabt to pay him and are paying huge money for Gilmore so wont get a great comp pick. Wait till tbe draft and offer a 2

Ginn has admitted having a learning disability, says he has to go over things numerous times to get it. That is going to work out great in our offense if he does more than a return.
