How is it a fair trade?
Saints would lose Cooks on a cheaper deal with a 5th year option for Malcolm Butler, who's a RFA and due a payday.
We'd be better off trading a pick to Denver or overpaying a FA
Converting Cooks into a good draft pick makes sense with the rookie contract structures.

No he isn't. Cooks murdered Butler is joint practice last year. I'm not down with this trade at all. Especially since NE just signed Gilmore.

Well shite, don't let the Pats, titans, and eagles know that.
His actual play at this point, while important, isn't even the discussion. If he's really having teams offer an 18th pick for him, then that's what I'm currently measuring him as along with his contract and market for young WRs.

I mean if being able to fly and running good routes is being a product of our offense...What in his skillet wouldn't transfer to any team?

So, is Butler worth the following:
18th pick
$13 million/year
Cap hit that comes if he doesn't work out
When supposedly Talib is on the block, who presents no cap risk, and would likely, at really the most, take a 3rd rounder.
Personally, I'd rather trade the Eagles for their DE + another pick.
18th pick + Talib - 3rd rounder > Malcolm's new contract
Do you think we're going to trade rape the Pats?
