Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

How exactly is Cooks a top 5 in talent at WR? He wouldn't put up the #'s he did with 3/4 of the league's qb's out there.

Don't think the deal was good but I agree they took what they could get. Sort of like shopping for something you really like but can't afford and have to settle for something less. We just have to see how it turns out for us. Reality SUCKS! Cooks must have really pissed them off.

Cam Jordan was on Twitter complaining about the move. We might as well send him packing too. We don't need anybody who can't keep how they feel about trades to themselves.

Almost all losses by less than a score with a D almost dead last. Think he would be grateful we are going to address it and improve his squad.

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

Well we are paying cam way too much for 7.5 sacks. Do your job and shut your mouth. Hell at normal people work most people can't say what they want without getting in trouble. What makes them think they are untouchable. If someone paid me millions to play/work half the year id do it with a smile.

Not much of a difference when you chose to trade the player away before the 5th year can be picked up.

Maybe we look at another Sproles type and pass, pass, pass! Cooks is a good player but he wouldn't have made us good enough to win the division, now 2 picks on the other hand might? It's a chance we must be able to allow our Saints!

We didn't get two picks, why do people keep perpetuating that lie on here?

A malcontent that was gone next year for a big asking price. We didn't have much leverage and 31 other teams probably knew it.

I'm guessing the extended wait Friday was we were trying to get the best deal. This was the best deal on the table

Ingram got into a shouting match with SP on the sideline in the middle of the game, what do we do?

I don't think Cooks is the player a lot of you have him out to be.

Well he is playing with Tom Brady so that isn't even a relevant argument. He was 7th in yards last season, his third in the league. Pretty good rec
