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

It’s a process to add talent or legit contributors to the roster, especially at depleted skill positions. We’d disappoint ourselves if we look at every move as all-in or SB or bust. They’re trying to get back to having good depth to be a winning team again.

I think going all in would’ve been splurging on a couple top 5-AAV FAs. Cooks simply gives us an established starting WR on an inexpensive short term starter deal. We have 3 good WRs now instead of just 2.

People want the Saints to have more depth. People automatically start asking who does the new guy send packing when a new player is signed. It doesn't compute.

A team doesn't improve their depth by releasing a player in a group every time they sign a new player to that group. They build depth by adding players to that group and keeping the best ones they already have.
