Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
The Pats deal gave us two picks, but cost us two picks, but did yield an add'l first round pick and improved our fourth round pick... The Titans deal would've moved us up six spots and gave us one high third round pick... The Eagles deal offered us a Safety we let walk and a third and fourth round pick... One lesson I hope Payton/Loomis take for this is when you reach for a player with two picks... A) You better make it count; with Cooks, they did; with Jon Jenkins, they whiffed; with Vonn Bell, David Onyemata, jury's still out. B) Unless you keep the player under contract for their career, you never get back their full value to acquire them. |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

The better deal is NE. We get to keep #11 and get a first rounder. |

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
+1. I'd rather have 11 and 32 than just 5. An extra 3rd without having to give up our 4th makes it a difficult call, but I still rather the NE offer.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
The "Titans deal" was nothing but speculation on what they could offer through the media. Any true offers were made behind closed doors. You are taking speculation as fact.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
In s draft this deep giving up 1 for 1 first rounders and gaining a third wasnt a better offer.
The teams needs plenty of help snd two firsts in better than t and a third. There will still be high class talent at 11 and at 32 compared to 90 odd |

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
Our best??? I don't think so. And he is one deminsional. He was our deep threat guy thats it... why do you think he was frustrated he wants to be more. We have role players that fit our system not a #1 or #2.
I get it he might have been your fav player and fav WR but he was expendable. |
