We got a deal doesn't matter what it was... the deal is done. lol. There is no price on Cooks head except the one you get/accept/take what every term you want to use. That is the market value of a player and that is what you can get for a player. I personally don't think there was a better deal on the table for a one deminsional WR. There are other factors at play including a contract. NE needs to assume they may have his services for only one year. You fact that into the equation as well. FACT: it is the right time to move him. He stays and we won't get anything for him when he moves on. |

I saw what Jordan said and to me he was being sarcastic

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Cooks is not one dimensional. He's not a big body WR but he is easily a top 10 WR. He can go up and get the ball, go across the middle, and go deep. You have to remember that he is only 23.

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Cooks was an expendable asset. To get a first round pick in return was a win. Thomas has emerged as a number one and Snead is more than capable, or whoever decide to play there, to hold down the 2 spot with the way our offense is run.
I don't think we utilized Cooks to his full potential and I don't believe we ever were. With the holes on this team, it was smart to move him now while we could get the return that we got before his price tag continues to rise and his trade compensation decreases. Let's get this defense rolling... scoring points has never been the issue here. Hopefully we make good of drafting and developing this draft pick. |

Still feel liked we got arse raped, but only time will tell. I hope 32 is great defensive help and BC does nothing much up in NE |

However the latest development of we could trade the 4th pick back in that round pick up something... NE is going to lose that pick no matter what so it doesn't matter if we move the pick pack. |
Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
I'm comfortable with the trade now as well. At this point I'd like to see us add Demarcus Ware on a 1 year deal and pick up Eddie Lacy.

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Wow, when you go to many of the main news sites, especially when logging out of hotmail or comcast, the thread link or title of the trade articles basically says...
Patriots trade Guess what everyone outside of Saints Nation is thinking... New York market hates the Saints for not only sending Cooks to their division, but for getting fleeced in return... We got a first and a third, but they really should have been further up in each round, and not made the defending SuperBowl Champs, better... But, hey, New England has been my 1A team since the days of John Hannah, Steve Grogan and Stanley Morgan; also a Red Sox and Celtics fan... So I'll still pull for Cooks who's also on my Joe Sam's Keeper League till Hagan and the guys pull another audible on me... ;) |

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Addition by subtraction...I like cooks, he's a great WR. But he is gonna be wanting a big payday soon and I think Thomas is better for the team. The way I see it, better a 1st round pick and an upgrade to the other pick than to deal with the diva attitude he has began to display and the possibility that he walks away as a FA.

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Ok let's cut all of this cooks was one dimensional crap out. He was a player that could basically do it all,and with his speed that was rare. There are only three players that had 1,000 yards, 75 catches and 8 touchdowns the last two years and he's one of them, Odell Beckham, and Antonio brown are the others. With that being said he's gone and we hear this talk about the defense again. Here's the real deal, they better get it right this time or they just wasted another draft (2014).

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
Unless im mistaken Ingram never cried he wasn't getting work in a team victory. Ingram is definetley emotional and gets frustrated but not at the expense of the team
Cooks moaning gives out the attitude "Id rather have 150 yards on 8 receptions in a loss,than no receptions in a win" |
Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
FWIW .... (don't shoot the messenger here :oops: )
Butler to be traded to Saints (Rumor) |

Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots
The fact is that we weren't going to pay him the kind of money another team will pay him. It is no fault against us and no fault against him. The deal doesn't sparkle and shine, but imo this is one where the player wins, and we win too.
It was bound to happen again - a game where he doesn't get the ball. We don't need that drama, particularly if we already know we aren't going to pay top market value for him. Best for him to move on and best for us to get something in return. The market said what it said and that's that. The only real conspiracy might be that we took less to send him some place good since by all accounts he was well liked. But who knows? And don't sell Ginn short either. He put up decent numbers with Cam 'the sham' Newton. I suspect he might do just fine here. |

Butler was getting punked so bad in the Super Bowl it screamed of Jason David. He picked off a 1 yard slant against Seattle. Wooo. I'd rather stick with Webb.
