Saints sign WR Brandin Cooks to a 2-year, $13 million deal (93 Viewers)

Hella interesting, because you now have 3 similar sized guys w/ similar traits and weaknesses.

Whose odd man out?

I think it's an insurance policy, Olave and Shaheed can't stay healthy. Luckily, Cooks has been healthy most of his career.

If Saints can hit on a TE and WR in the draft, they will suddenly have a very good offensive unit with good depth

You mentioned his name. Same as a click. Mission accomplished.

He did the duty of saving me from clicking the article. A true gentleman.

The Saints could win the SB and Sigler will find the one or two things he couldn’t stand about them making and winning the SB and write some BS article.

“Despite Cinderella Super Bowl run, it’s still time for Loomis to pass the torch”

only way that happens is if olave doesnt get hurt this year and has a 1,300 yard season lol.

Would also have to apply the fifth year option before May 1 this year which I don’t believe is going to happen.

The one thing I have noticed, no one has mentioned any guarantees. From my understanding, if he doesn’t make the team we owe him nothing.

Depends on how the contract is worked. There could have a signing bonus of $4M which is guaranteed.

Matt is hell-bent on becoming the Cajun version of Colin Cowherd.

Funny stuff, but extremely insulting to us Cajuns.

The IR’d one!

We’ve (you and I) been contemplating that move since last year. He’s an asset similar to what Lattimore was and is a piece of the new core we started building in 2022 that hasn’t exactly panned out like we thought.

Add that to Olaves brother saying him risking his career in New Orleans wasn’t worth it and a potential divorce has always had some legs to it

I’m still interested in a move to #1

I think moving on from him would be the smartest business move right now. For Olave, skipping a year would be the right move to help get his head on straight.

I hate how people resort to this......as if the Saints have made so many good decisions the last few years that they dont deserve criticism. Loomis has alot of proving to do before everything he does just gets believed as great.

I don’t disagree.

I remember watching Cowboy games rooting for whoever played against them and thinking how cool it would be to have Cooks cooking in 'Nawlins again.
The man knows how to get open quick has good wheels and good hands. Hopefully he can be what Lance Moore used to be for us back in the day. Shifty and good at finding those open pockets in a defense.

I don’t disagree.

Kinda agree but we need to shore up the O-line or Carr will be running for his life before any of those WR's could get open.

Which young upside WR would you have signed for $5 million per year?

I hate to say this bc I hate this player, and he is only 1 year younger, but Josh Reynolds would’ve been a decent option, but a huge part of me is really glad that it wasn’t Reynolds

We probably have the softest WR Corp in the NFL with this signing.

By softest do you mean most flaccid?
