Saints have traded

Cooks to New England

 

[NTDawg]

For?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

For?

Picks. I like it. Cooks is a one trick pony.

New Orleans gets NE's 1st round pick (#32 overall) and NO gives NE their #118 overall pick for the #103 pick. Honestly, that's a good deal for NO, as Cooks was in the final year of his contract and unhappy.

 

[fishwater99]

Not a good trade. We needed Butler not a pick.

 

[msstate7]

Hopefully ted ginn still has enough in the tank to give us the deep threat we need to go along with Snead and Thomas. Read on message board that saints will target oj Howard with pats' pick. If we can get Howard, I'll be happy

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Do the Saints play Clemson a bunch next year?

 

[msstate7]

I hope not. Not sure we can stop their offense haha

Actually, Cooks had 2 more years on his contract, an option on the 2nd year. He would have made about 1.5 next year, then over 8 million in 2018. The Saints could have tagged him in 2019, but I don't think the Saints would ever pay Cooks north of 8 million. Cooks wanted out of New Orleans, and wanted to be the Man.

He's an unbelievable talent, but a douche imo. The saints blasted the rams 49-21 this year, but cooks got no catches. Instead of being happy with the win, he threw a little fit.

I would have rather had a proven commodity like Butler too, but I'll wait and see who is drafted with these picks before making a final judgement.

screw cooks! Drew can make most receivers good!..... msstate7, I see you're a tortured soul like me, Bulldogs, Saints, and Braves, makes for a lot of drinking
