we have shown a next man up winning mentality

and many ex Saint players do take a step down leaving Brees' offense.

I think we didn't get enough
roughly an early second round pick
maybe Butler is thrown in, who knows

if we can actually find a defensive stalwart with our 2 #1 picks or trade up for the difference maker (or maybe not)
then this won't taste so bitter

we are getting rid of a proven top tier wide receiver just because he is going to have to be paid someday?

this is pathetic

You make it sound like Sean & the Saints front office owe us transparency.

I like the move for the Patriots, but I think the Saints are the winners of this deal. Cooks made it known that he didn't want to be on the roster anymore, and the Saints have two strong receivers without him in Michael Thomas and Willie Snead. New Orleans now has two first-round selections in a very deep draft, so they can use those picks to improve their woeful defense.

Cooks wasn't a problem
that was blown up by the media and will be a sticking point hoopla with a trade

he deserves to be paid - anyone remember Marcus Colston?

gone are the 80 yard bombs

watch Brady have some fun

I would rather pay a great player who has performed for you the $$

then have a fifth year unproven entity on the cheap

don't we have an easy salary cap this year

that isn't what smart teams do... Tell that to the NE Patriots. Smart deals dump players demanding big contracts and get some younger cheaper talent to develop. Look at the compensatroy picks over the past 10 years.

I am really glad Marcus Colston ended up in Cleveland
