Payton and Belichick are looking like geniuses for getting rid of Brandin Cooks

Cooks has upside. If he would have mentally taken a back seat to Thomas, we would have been happy to keep him. With that said, we saved the $$$$ and were able to get ramczyck.

Cooks is good but will never be that elite receiver because he’s not willing to take that big hit to make the catch. He wants no part of physicality.
