Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

saintsfan1976 · 03-02-2017, 03:20 PM

Exceptional talent but limited at the same time. We've all seen it.

Michael Thomas on the other hand fits every passing scenario.

Good move if we can pull it off. And yes, I was probGraham trade also.

Can't wait to see how this plays out. Just imagine what we could haul at #5 and #11

I called Cook's "cancer in the locker room" attitude back when he complained about not grtting the ball. Despite his stats, IMO he's not a true #1 receiver anyway, and I think he felt threatened by MT's growing status.

There was no doubt tension between Cooks and Thomas. Cooks couldn't handle the competition at all.

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

Sean Payton discusses Brandin Cooks trade rumors

RaginCajun83 · 03-02-2017, 04:13 PM

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.

Lets get 5, 18 and their 3rd for cooks and 11

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.
