Speed threat is a role and Cooks is limited. You've seen him taken out of a game at times if a solid defense takes away the deep ball. If he eventually leaves and/or traded, the cup board isn't bare. We already know what we have in Micheal Thomas.

Cooks will be very expensive after this year (he could walk/re sign elsewhere and the Saints would have nothing).

We can pick up the 5 year option for him next year which would be about 6 million. After that drew will probably be gone and we will recover 9 million in dead money. If he is traded we need to get a butt load of picks.
