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

At how much?

Never a huge fan of his, (attitude) at that price tho I’m happy as can be with this. That room needs all the help it can get as well.
Good signing imo.

I’ll admit that DC4 is accurate with the long ball. Shaheed and Cooks burning secondaries could be fun

Juwan Johnson can serve as the Big X. He did it towards the end of last year.

I've been a proponent of converting him back to WR to play that role, but he can do it as a TE as well.

We need big a few big targets, but CKM could be using TEs as those targets.

Means is big at 6'2" 225lbs and crazy athletic so he could be the guy as well.

NFL.com has means as 6'1" and 212 lbs. But either way he's still fairly big. I liked what I saw from Means last year, but I wish we could have seen more of him so he had more on field time to develop.

Honestly I never understand the hate that he received when he was here. He wasn't the best receiver in the league but he did his job and he was productive. He never said anything bad about anyone as far as I know. Things didn't work out for both parties so both had moved on.

I don’t hate him at all but he definitely became a malcontent here. Attitude issues.
I love the signing right now tho and at that price.

*For as long as they stay healthy.

We seem to have issues with that yearly lol.

Carr, Olave and a 3rd round pick for the Giants number 3

And who on God's green earth are you picking? Is there anyone remotely worth that price? Who you got?

Hmmm. I don't recall but give me an example. Only thing about him was tweeting about being fed because he is hungry about something.

 

[Hadders]

He'd make a great Englishman.

Always grumpy.

We needed some insurance for both Olave and Shaheed. I don’t think you can count on either playing a full season without some sort of injury. Also doesn’t hurt to bring in someone with the work ethic of Cooks. Hopefully he pushes the young guys to be at their best.

The Combine Results website had him at 73 inches and 227lbs, but NFL.com and Sports Reference have him at the 73" and 212lbs. I guess he's not as big as I thought, but he's stilled rocked out.

Maybe if we reduced their roles,
they can stay healthy, but you still can’t count on it.

No different than Keyshawn Johnson saying "Just Give Me the Damn Ball."

When you care more about individual statistics than winning or losing, and are willing to say it publicly and not just behind closed doors. That’s not someone you want in your locker room and Payton recognized that and moved him.

He was a young player in the 2nd year of his career. I’m not saying people can’t change, but if someone says they can’t understand why some saints fans might have a bad taste in their mouths in regards to a Cooks, I’ll respond with well he kind of did that to himself.

You would get Ward, Hunter, Carter, or Graham at that spot.

I like the signing. I know that I've been in the trade Olave camp, but the best scenario is that he puts in the muscle and get stronger like he said he would and then avoid the concussions. These 3 dudes if healthy can break havoc and the provide insurance for each other.

Bad move.
