Cooks Traded Again

Beastmode · 04-03-2018, 08:28 PM

How did they even trade him? Thought Cooks was a 1 yr deal? Confused as hell. Pats were going to do this regardless of production. No way they were resigning him at that price. They use up and toss out WR's and RB's like the weather. Meanwhile we are holding on to a 29 yr old RB...meh...I like Ingram but geez, get something for him right now! in less than 24 months he is outta here.

Cooks was a first round pick, exercised the fifth year option per CBA...Rams already planned to extend him, established before the trade was closed...

It's Belichick's world, he owns it, and the league is still trying to catch up like a prop-lane to a jet fighter...

Payton/Loomis are stubborn in changing their carefree personnel ways, but Ireland seems to be a positive influence...

It may be wishful thinking, but we may one day actually start to get compensatory picks, well, maybe...

We'd have to get an early Day 2 pick for him; I'd consider it, but there is serious risk...

Cam Jordan would lose his drinking buddy - serious boudéing; also, run the risk of RB attrition like the Seattle playoff game where we couldn't eat the clock...

As close as we are, don't know that we screw with what's working; both RBs stayed strong the entire season sharing workload - that chemistry is rare...

AsylumGuido, Rugby Saint II and rezburna like this.
