Saints Looking To Trade WR Brandin Cooks

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.

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

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

    • I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those. 
    • It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.
    • I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
