Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

History says that we will get the short end of the sticks. Ginn is not the same player he was two seasons ago. He has gotten slower and took advantage of a lot of one on one coverages that he saw in Carolina. He will not see that in N.O. and he has never shown the ability to go up a get the ball. We are one injury at WR from being in bad shape. I can already see the ball sailing through Ginn's hand on a short route and going back the other way. I hope I'm wrong but I see us as getting the short end of the sticks on this trade.

I don't care what anyone says....we have a problem in our locke room culture especially on offense. Too many players the last 5 seasons have had problems where they have come out and said something to the media. We cannot afford to screw this up like we did two seasons ago. The Patriots instantly got better and all we have is potential. If we want to win now we cant draft projects and we can't afford anymore 1st Rd picks that end up injured for 3/4 of the season.

Who care if the Pats got better if we are still 7-9 and cant get out the division. Worry about the Pats when we have a team and DEFENSE food enough to get to the dance

Great trade. The Saints got a 1st rd pick, saved $1 million, and moved on from a disgruntled player who was going to walk after the 2017 season.

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

This is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to try to put a positive spin on this. We get the lowest possible first round pick, and a 3rd rounder, which doesn't exactly "sweeten" the deal very much to begin with, but then we have to give THEM a 4th?

What the crap is that about?

After they rape us they try to share us with their buddies by trading Malcolm which will turn out to be a cap hit that will stop the shop for High Quality FA talent after the draft.

I see how Patriots operate, they reel you in with a nice beneficial trade like
Hoomanawanui then they sucker punch with this BC trade, now they want to f*>k us with a Malcolm Butler trade. Loomis or Payton whichever, need to get their head back in the game and stop being so desperate

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

We aren't a 2-receiver offense. I don't think Tommy Lee is ready and it's a reach to think to Coleman can step it up and be Colston-like. Ted Ginn is just a guy to sub in once in a while at this point in his career. We don't need a guy just like Cooks but we need another receiving weapon.
