Saints sign WR Brandin Cooks to a 2-year, $13 million deal

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Interesting. I would have expected them to go after a bigger WR, but I think Cooks can still play some and will provide good depth.

Hella interesting, because you now have 3 similar sized guys w/ similar traits and weaknesses.

Whose odd man out?

If we are being truthful without ourselves, he should have never left...

It would have been

Brandin Cooks
Willie Snead

Let's see how he will be used in CKM system

 

[St.Dan]

Wow, what year is it? I surely didn't expect this reunion! Two years ago Jimmy, and now Brandin.

He's a bit fragile like Olave, but as long as a guy can run, he'll always have a job in the NFL. Perhaps he can play a Tedd Ginn Jr.-type of role for Carr (or whoever it is) and be a deep option.

3 speedy WR that can't block. I thought we wanted to run the ball?

This makes me wonder about Olave's future with the team...

At how much?

6.5M per year

And a 2 year deal for Cooks. Makes me wonder if maybe there are some thoughts about trading Olave before they have to give him a new deal?

I’ve been saying for a while now I love the theme we’ve got going w/ former coaches and players returning.

It’s fun to see Im enjoying it. It’s a rehash that ironically still feels fresh

Kubiak and DA wanted to run the ball. Not so sure about Moore. And I don't think it's as important if you aren't running the Shanahan/Kubiak scheme. Obviously you want your WR to block in any scheme, but it's essential for the the Shanahan/Kubiak scheme.

Let's try that with the Titans at #1.
