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

This is the 1st decision since CKM has been here that I don't like....

I feel trading up for Cooks was one of the worst draft decisions CSP ever made and it probably initiated the search for help in the draft room (ie: Jeff Ireland)......

For a smaller WR he really isn't that dynamic and should have the skill/quickness to to better with YAC.....

That said you can't say he hasn't had some productive years but he will soon be 32 and his last truly productive season was in 2021, he is clearly in decline, to me this fits the Saints mistakes of the past.....targeting a player well past his prime.....I hope I'm wrong and he has some kind of magical resurgence but it just smacks a weird signing to me.....we already have 2 smallish burners at WR......
