Patriots considering trading Malcolm Butler to Saints for Brandin Cooks: report

Beastmode · 03-09-2017, 11:44 PM

Cooks would have more individual success in Cleveland IMO. For the Pats, not going to happen for him. He would also likely be let go at the end of the season. I don't see them ponying up for some stellar contract for a WR.

Cooks is really in a bad spot. Should have kept quiet. He could potentially wind up on his third team in 3 years and then get stuck on a truly awful team the rest of his career.

If he stays....His mouth better shut and he better start being a teamer. I don't give a hell if he gets "fed" or not. Wins. That's all that matters. Wins.

Trading cooks for butler will be a Big mistake. I'll rather we take our chances with a draft pick. The division New England in who do he really have to cover? Speedy recievers like Kenny Stills had a field day on him and they used schemes to cover Antoino Browns and he still broke loose. Don't be fooled by a papa john commercial

Pro day:

40 Yrd Dash: 4.62 and 4.64
20 Yrd Dash: 2.75
10 Yrd Dash: 1.62 225 Lb. Bench Reps: 13
Vertical Jump: 33 1/2
Broad Jump: 09'10"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.27

I wouldn't want Butler. Not to mention it's a position that is up/down AND has an incredibly high bust rate when it comes to a player switching teams /systems. I'd prefer the Saints hold firm (wanting two draft picks) if they do in fact trade Cooks.

Thats my problem as the draft class is fully stacked through at least two rounds at CB.

Id only take picks. What i would do though is try to find out what Butler wants and if its agreeable post or during the draft offer the Pats a 3rd round pick for him. He will walk in a year and they will take something rather than nothing imo

Looking at that Miami-Rams trade last night. Think we missed out there. Hayes would have offered good rotation at a minimum at DE and just swapping a 6th for 7th would have been worth a deal

far too many failures signing and trading for high priced CB's in this league. Huge gamble. I don't like it

Just keep Cooks and find a CB in the draft

Tre Davious White Round 2. And he's a return man.

He had a strong combine. Almost certainly a first round pick now I'm afraid.

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
