Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

Cook in the last year of his rookie contract and the ability to pick to up his option is huge for a proven WR that can take the top off any defense. Now that the words out lets see if any other teams get in the mix.

The experiment with Cook as a replacement for the Darrin/Bush role appears to be coming to an end.

We will need a WR with speed to take top off a Defense now.

Maybe a dream comes true. #18 Christian McCaffrey LMAO only kidding,

#11 O.J. Howard - replace Cook as a weapon
#18 Taco Charlton - Stud DE to set the edge and push the pocket

Just saw this:

Saints HC Sean Payton says WR Brandin Cooks is not on the trade block but the team will listen to offers.

TEN & PHI interested.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

The only thing that bothers me about this trade is this. Drew is getting older. When he was young you could pretty much put anyone out there and he would get them the ball. We have gotten away with basically no name receivers. As he gets older he is going to need players that can go out and make plays. Players that can get their hands on a poorly thrown pass and get yards.
It also sets us up for the post Brees era. A new qb is gonna need as much help as possible. With cooks in the lineup and Thomas coming out balling we may very well have one of the best receiving corps in the league.

We will take Davis Webb in the 3rd

Aside from Randy Moss for a year or two Tom Brady has been throwing to many players that wouldn't be on most teams' rosters, let alone starting at #1 or 2 as a WR and winning SBs. Wasn't Edelman a running back when Welker and Moss were the WRs?

Cooks actually helped Thomas. Now Thomas will be the one drawing the top corners. This all pointing as I said to Fleener being prepped up.
