New Orleans Saints agree to terms with WR Brandin Cooks
CBrandon Cooks
By Ross Jackson - Louisiana Sports
A veteran wide receiver was going to be a highly sought after commodity for the New Orleans Saints’ offseason. Now that the pursuit is complete with the signing of former first-round draft pick Brandin Cooks, there are concerns that the Saints will too quickly turn the page on addressing the position further. However, that is unlikely to be the case.
While Cooks does provide a veteran presence of a similar ilk to top receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, the team still lacks a proven, big-bodied, and physical wide receiver.
Veteran players like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper carry traits that could help the team as X-receiver options, if signed. The two wideouts also have at least a season each of familiarity with head coach and offensive play caller Kellen Moore. But New Orleans could understandably wait until next month’s NFL Draft to pull the trigger on another deal.
The incoming rookie class provides several wide receivers of this mold. Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan is expected to be a realistic option for the Saints at No. 9 overall. Iowa State’s Jayden Higgin and Ole Miss receiver Tre Harris could be among the several day two options. An underrated name like South Dakota State University wideout Nick Nash could be a day three diamond in the rough. ...

Saints sign WR Brandin Cooks to 2-YR deal
The New Orleans Saints have made another move in an already busy offseason, bringing former standout WR Brandin Cooks home on a 2-YR deal.
Cooks’ deal with the Saints will be worth $13 million, a relative steal for a position the Saints need improved depth at.
Cooks had much success in his previous tenure with the Saints, as many likely haven’t forgotten. He last suited up in the Black and Gold in 2016. Well-known as one of the speediest players in the room, Cooks could frequently be seen speeding up the sideline catching long bombs from Saints legend Drew Brees. Cooks has aged over the...

In this week's CSC poll, we asked voters which of the New Orleans Saints moves do they like the most so far this offseason?
After 336 votes, the signing of safety Justin Reid was the runaway winner with 63.7% of the votes. The former Kansas City Chiefs safety signed a 3-year $31.5 million contract, filling a big position of need in the Saints secondary. Reid is has been a solid starter his whole career and is a two-time Super Bowl champion with ten career interceptions. He should pair well with Tyrann Mathieu as the Saints have had a revolving door at strong safety for most of the time...

Three scenarios where the Saints could trade up in the NFL Draft
The New Orleans Saints are entering the draft with needs throughout the team, but with investments made in bringing back players and making acquisitions, the roster is in a much better place than expected. Depending on who is available, and comp pick considerations, I would not be surprised to see the Saints make more signings in free agency, either before or after the draft. I’ve been very vocal about the Saints needing to sign a LG, and my preference is that happening before the draft, but if New Orleans has a deal lined up for after the draft, that is also fine. With more signings in...

The New Orleans Saints have opened up a bunch of cap space with contract restructures and reworks, but with all the space they currently have, no more moves have been made. This has been surprising due to the needs on the roster, particularly at LG. The guard market is dwindling even more, with top option Tevin Jenkins going to the Browns, and the Saints may need to get their LG answer soon before it is too late. Shortly after the Jenkins news broke, it was revealed that free agent Dillon Radunz is set to visit with the New Orleans Saints this week, per Jeremy Fowler.

Why the Saints should look at drafting Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks
Don’t panic when it comes to the running back position in this year's draft, because it is backloaded with talent. If the New Orleans Saints fail to land Boise State back Ashton Jeanty, there are many other prospects the Saints could take.
Tahj Brooks, a running back out of Texas Tech University, could be one of those candidates.
According to the school's website, Brooks, a fifth-year senior, is the university's all-time leading rusher, with 4,557 yards in 56 games. Additional career accolades include being named second-team all-Big 12 in 2024, a 2024 academic All-American, four-time...
