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

This is an interesting signing for sure. It gives us 3 WRs who occupy the same/similar space. Shaheed is more of a weapon and has return value, so he's probably staying. However, having Pettis and Velus Jones Jr on the roster provides other KR/PR options.

We still need a Big X.

I think Olave might be the odd man out.

The other option is we keep all 3, for injury insurance since Olave and Shaheed both get banged up every year.

This offseason has been exciting for sure.

We needed some insurance for both Olave and Shaheed. I don’t think you can count on either playing a full season without some sort of injury. Also doesn’t hurt to bring in someone with the work ethic of Cooks. Hopefully he pushes the young guys to be at their best.
