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

[DSnfla]

If we don’t get Tet, Tre Harris in the second would be value and give us that coveted big receiver we need

Or Higgins or Ayomanor or Savion Williams or Bech

If the contract isn't guaranteed (which I believe is the case) I feel a bit better.....if he has to make the team first.....

As much as I like the signing as a quality 3rd WR for this team and like Brandin Cooks since we drafted him, for a guy who runs a 4.3…on the field it always looks like he’s running in mud. Hes got the opposite of game speed. Hes the anti-Jerry Rice. Sure he’s running around with a lot of energy and making all kinds of steps and moves but he’s always the slowest guy on the field and always gets caught like immediately. It boggles the mind.

It’s like he lives in another dimension made of epoxy instead of air.

Just use your own eyes.

Hmmm.

He's not being signed to be a 1,000 yard receiver. If he was, he'd have been paid about 4x as much.

I'm more worried about him coming off an injury than his production the last few years. He's here to be a #3.

Agree. Question is how many [Speedsters] 4.4-4.3 do
we currently have on the roster. I could be wrong but I think it is approximately 3-4? Again, I could be wrong, but I don't ever recall the saints ever having more than 2 speedsters on the roster. As they say, speed kills. Could it be the offensive mind is you can't go deep unless someone has the speed to catch it. Agree with many, the price tag seems a bit steep. But its not my money being thrown around.

He's got terrible field vision, like awful.....he should be very elusive with his quickness......he's just not.....

Have we signed anybody today yet? I am getting anxious.

100% agree.

 

[SaintsMan209]

What would you think if the Saints traded Olave to the 49ers for Ayiuk?

This. Payton kept trying to get him the ball in open space in the flats expecting him to elusive and break it open. He simply couldn't just like the Rams' Tavon Austin. They only looked the part.

Matt hates Santa Clause. It's what he does.

How about positioning it as something like “here’s some good rationale for the Cooks signing” instead of calling out other posters.
