Saints Looking To Trade WR Brandin Cooks

Don't think they'd trade him to us, but I'd absolutely love him here.

Hrm...got to wonder why.  I know we like to make fun of dumpster fires and what not, but I thought Cooks was a big time player for them?  Or did I miss the memo that outside of a few plays against us, he's horrible?

They're stacked at WR, Cooks has the first round contract that other teams can utilize, and he's actually a good player.

He's great trade bait for a team that has more holes than swiss cheese on their defense. They need to draft a bunch of young cheap and good talent over the next few years in order to try and win a ring for Breesus. 

It makes sense for them to ship him out for a high draft pick.

I wonder what the asking price is

If it's a 2nd I'd send it over yesterday but I'm thinking the Titans would offer their second of two first round picks

Damn....Titans are looking to take firm control over that Division

Interesting is that they want to trade Cooks and Snead is a free agent. Michael Thomas came on late in the season. But to possibly lose your 2 of your starting 3 receivers.  

No way Saints trade him to us..

Side note: if Eagles get Cooks doubt they go for DJax. Still think there's close to 0% chance we target him. 

Just thinking out loud....

Houston's D is good enough to keep them in it... And if they get anything at all from the QB position they should be favorites.

Thanks!  Great points!

If I recall correctly, I think he was seeing less targets last season as the year went on and was pissed about it.

Sean Payton made it clear that they need pass rushers, moving Cooks to Tennessee and swapping picks ensures them the pass rusher that they want at 5.

Or they could secretly LOVE Fournette and make sure they get in front of us to take him or that pass rush that they covet. 

Also Thomas is their clear cut number 1 receiver

This is also true, he's a good young receiver but he did complain about his targets during the season
