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

Puzzled, indeed baffled. Another speed guy and another over 30 guy. I guess I can see his value as insurance for both Olave and Shaheed, but this signing just confuses me.

As far as the trade angle is concerned, if Olave is traded, will Shaheed and Cooks start? Weird, just weird.
Interesting.
Pipe dreaming here but maybe Olave is going to be included in a trade offer for the 1 pick to get Ward? Carr Olave our 9 and next year 1 for their 1? That may not be enough idk.

*Also not implying that Cooks could replace Olave.

Purely speculation I know but it’s fun to do. I’m excited for the draft either way, however it shakes out.
