2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

jeanpierre · 03-29-2019, 10:41 AM

Saints signed TE Jared Cook, 32yo, 6' 5", 254lbs, signed a two (2) year deal to the team worth $15mil, avg $7.5 per annum, with $8mil guaranteed...

In contrast, TE Jesse James, 24yo, 6' 7", 260lbs, signed a 4 (4) year deal with DET worth $22.6mil, avg $5.65mil per annum, with $10.5 guaranteed...

Curious to see how this comparison will pan out...

Jesse James is also fairly unathletic and can’t get much separation from man coverage. We already have that in Josh Hill.

James is a better athlete than given credit, is an elite blocker, and like Hill, among others already on the Saints roster, need more than just a few opportunities to become proficient in the offense...

And go back and look at Cook's production by season and see his best TD production season was last year when he was the only real receiving option on a fire-sale'd Raiders team...

Also, James showed more reliability in catch-rate than Cook; it's of little consequence now, Welcome to Jared Cook, welcome to the Saints-Falcons rivalry...

But I like to foot-note these moves when we circle back to Payton as a GM...

This also tells me Jared has no quit in him, unlike his counter part (Amari Cooper) before the trade to Dallas. Keep in mind, he's been a part of terrible teams ...Titans & Rams (before they were good)

.

Cook has made big plays in crucial moments. I only wonder the impact he would have made in the NFCCG vs Rams last year.

We just improved on offense with the Cook signing.

Well, we were essentially down three key receiving options as Tre'Quan, Kirkwood were injured-slowed, injured-out, and Watson's age caught up to him and he was outta gas, so Drew could've used anyone's help...

Hopefully Between Coach Lieutenant Dan Campbell and Coach Whoopin' Stick Johnson, Cook's hands will be coached up to be reliable on those crucial plays...
