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......
I can’t say that he was my choice as the draft pick that year. With that said, he had some memorable catches, helped us win some games, etc. and the draft pick we got for him from the trade got us Ramcheck. We could have been way worse off than being a part of his journey.

Now, where does he fit in with this offense? I think security for the speed threat based to Olave and Shaheed’s injury history.
