Houston in full rebuild . Should not be difficult to trade for cooks right ?

We knew Brees never had good arm strength but he made it work with Devery & Meachem. If I recall I think Cooks was upset and wanted out. I think the reason is because there were a lot of designed plays where Cooks would run ghost routes and MT gets the ball. I say maybe the offense is different this time around and Cooks will be happy...if he decides to come here.
They weren't ghost routes, they were reads by Drew Brees. If the corners are in coverage and the safety is over the top, you don't throw the deep ball, you throw to the middle of the field where there is a hole in the zone. Brees could still make those throws in 2016, Cooks was mad he wasn't getting the ball enough. He still had like 117 targets. But CGM and Willie Snead also both had over 100 targets. Plus Fleener got 80.

He doesn't like to share the ball.

He is a me first guy.
