You would smile for taking a 2nd rounder for Cooks?? Where is the value in that trade scenario?

A rd 2 and Logan heck yeah. Dude is a beast and would solidify that d-line right away. Maybe we could really screw them over and get them to throw in Agholor too.

Saints have already made it clear that Cooks wouldn't come cheap in any trade scenario + we gave up a 1st and a 3rd to get him. Getting less than that would be down right dumb.

Tell the Feagles to kick rocks.

Saints would want a first-round pick for Brandin Cooks - NFL.com

Edit: Brees84, LMAO on Agholor!! The guy can't catch a cold.

Stone hands Agholor?

Logan is solid player but not on the level of other Free agents to be: Williams, Chris Baker... Baker is also very good pass rusher...

Remember who cured stone hands Devery Henderson - Curtis Johnson, back on the staff, I bet he could help Agholor.

However, defense comes first and if the Eagles can send a top D player then great.

If Philly ain't talking 1st rounder trade scenarios, we really don't have much to discuss at this point.

It's funny how one poster says Cooks wants out and so many jump at it.
One hack writer with 1200 followers says that it is Cooks pushing to get out, and no one else can corroborate
Cooks is a top receiver. You don't just give those guys away.

I might strongly consider a 2nd with Wentz but not just a 2nd by itself.

CheramieIII · 03-03-2017, 12:53 PM

If we take a 2nd only then our front office is stupid but if we take #18 and a 2nd that's a different story and give us a little more back than we paid to get him in the first place.

Rugby Saint II · 03-03-2017, 02:09 PM

We all love Cooks! He's a deep threat and a hell of a decoy.

He is part of the dynamic trio of Cooks , Thomas and Snead. We don't have the depth to let him leave currently when I look at the depth roster. It's a no brainer.

Still, the idea of gaining a couple of high draft picks or an impact defensive player and high draft pick in a draft rich in defensive players at positions that we covet has it's merits. Ireland seems to have the eye for talent. If we give him a couple of more picks we might get lucky again like last year.

I'd love to have 2 first round picks, our D could really use that help.

Just imagine this;

Mike Nolan propels Stephone Anthony's growth and he becomes the player we envisioned
We then draft Derek Barnett for our DE and Reuben Foster at LB both in the first round

Corner is handled in the second and third rounds

How good would that be!

Even better if we re-sign Fairley to a decent deal.

What about Free Agency?
