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

[football]

Will always be my favorite pass from Brees.

This is the 1st decision since CKM has been here that I don't like....

I feel trading up for Cooks was one of the worst draft decisions CSP ever made and it probably initiated the search for help in the draft room (ie: Jeff Ireland)......

For a smaller WR he really isn't that dynamic and should have the skill/quickness to to better with YAC.....

That said you can't say he hasn't had some productive years but he will soon be 32 and his last truly productive season was in 2021, he is clearly in decline, to me this fits the Saints mistakes of the past.....targeting a player well past his prime.....I hope I'm wrong and he has some kind of magical resurgence but it just smacks a weird signing to me.....we already have 2 smallish burners at WR......

Dammit Loomis. Moore said he needed an X receiver not our ex receiver.

He literally complained publicly that he wasn’t getting the ball enough after a game that we WON….

wasn't it after the giant game where we put up 50?

No different than Keyshawn Johnson saying "Just Give Me the Damn Ball."

7th round comp pick cancelled out…



Think we still have a 4th for Adebo (for now).

At how much?

Never a huge fan of his, (attitude) at that price tho I’m happy as can be with this. That room needs all the help it can get as well.
Good signing imo.

I’ll admit that DC4 is accurate with the long ball. Shaheed and Cooks burning secondaries could be fun

Juwan Johnson can serve as the Big X. He did it towards the end of last year.

I've been a proponent of converting him back to WR to play that role, but he can do it as a TE as well.

We need big a few big targets, but CKM could be using TEs as those targets.

Means is big at 6'2" 225lbs and crazy athletic so he could be the guy as well.

NFL.com has means as 6'1" and 212 lbs. But either way he's still fairly big. I liked what I saw from Means last year, but I wish we could have seen more of him so he had more on field time to develop.

Honestly I never understand the hate that he received when he was here. He wasn't the best receiver in the league but he did his job and he was productive. He never said anything bad about anyone as far as I know. Things didn't work out for both parties so both had moved on.

I don’t hate him at all but he definitely became a malcontent here. Attitude issues.
I love the signing right now tho and at that price.

*For as long as they stay healthy.

We seem to have issues with that yearly lol.

Carr, Olave and a 3rd round pick for the Giants number 3

And who on God's green earth are you picking? Is there anyone remotely worth that price? Who you got?

Hmmm. I don't recall but give me an example. Only thing about him was tweeting about being fed because he is hungry about something.

He'd make a great Englishman.

Always grumpy.
