He's counting $19 million against the cap, which is less than Cameron. Cooks was under contract for the next 2 years cheap. My god people. How hard is it to understand this wasn't salary cap related.

They knew they were not going to pay him in 2 years.  He has more trade value with 2 years on his rookie deal than he would have had next year with only one year left.  

It was a cap move...just not a desperation move but one they planned ahead for.

Hate to say it, but NE will likely win the next Super Bowl. We can hate them all we want, but they want to win worse than any other franchise. 

Thank GOODNESS they won the LAST Super Bowl, but the odds were astronomical after nearly 3 quarters of play.  A 40 year old statue in January/February is still a 40 year old statue in January/February, even if it's a GOAT 40 year old statue.  Father Time is the real GOAT.

I actually like the trade for the Saints, Cooks didn't want to be there anymore and Thomas looks to be a number one. The signing of Ginn kinda sealed it. Surprised they didn't get Butler in the deal but happy they didn't 

New England will be bad one day.

Saints should wait until after the draft and make a deal for Butler

One of the most incompetent trio's in the league....

 

A pain pill loving, cocky arrogant HC who is still living off his laurels nearly a decade ago

An incompetent GM who has set the organization into cap disarray for years to come, poor draft selections

A poor old man with dementia who can't even realize his beloved team is getting hosed

They have a Super Bowl tho and we don't so...

Not unhappy seeing him leave the division. I am curious why they were so eager to trade him.

They were not going to be able to pay him. They get two guys who they can lock up for 5 years now on the cheep.

    • My comments go back to what I would have done in 2023. That is really when everything veered off of what I thought was good and well. I wanted to keep Wilks, re-sign Darnold and Foreman, and trade down in the draft to take Torrance, Kincaid, Charbonnet, or Mims obviously depending on where they fell. Knowing what was coming the next draft class, that was the prudent thing to do.    I’d still take Warren over Tet, or even Matthew Golden over Tet. Bryce needs guys who get open because right now, no one on this roster creates separation forcing Bryce to be a pinpoint passer which is insane because he’s 5’9. Give me receiving options that create space.    they called him a Mini-Mahomes yet have done nothing similar to what the Chiefs have done to capitalize on those “traits”. It’s absurd. Give me a tight end who can back yard ball, a slasher at running back, a power back, and two 4.3 receivers with exceptional route running.    That’s how you build around what Bryce has done well. 
    • We should have traded down, taken Torrance, taken Charbonnet and Mims. Then gone defense. Re-signed Foreman and Darnold. If we sucked again, then you get a shot at Daniels, Maye, Williams, or Nix. You get to keep DJ Moore and stack a core of talent. 
    • What is it that Cam is supposed to do differently? He is a running back. Dart will learn to slide, and eventually he won’t be playing with PS elevation receivers so he won’t have to run nearly as much.
