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

On the whole cooking theme, wasn't it some comments by Cooks during the 2016 about not "eating" enough when it came to seeing the ball? It was presumed this led to him being trade bait since Michael Thomas was quickly becoming the WR1? He had 78 catches for 1,173 yards in 2016, for background's sake.

Looking back at home Cooks career has went and how MT's career, it looks like MT probably wanted him gone.

The WRs in 2023 started to gel when MT left the team.

It doesn't look like he was a good teammate or mentor for the young WRs.
