Multiple teams believe New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks' name could surface in trade talks this offseason, sources told ESPN.

League sources told ESPN that some believe Cooks could have been moved earlier this season in a potential trade with the New England Patriots for linebacker Jamie Collins, who was eventually sent to the Cleveland Browns for a reported third-round compensatory pick or a fourth-rounder.

Rapsheet reporting the same stupid shite this morning. I hate this splash report shite. Just causing a stir for nothing. They can't make a trade right now, so why report it? Causing dissent.

There is no way the Saints trade cooks. We've been shitty at WR for like 4 years and we finally aren't. Not happening.

What an interesting retweet from Sean Payton.

Rappoport is a clown

I hope we are not that desperate from a LB.

So we almost traded a 1k yard received for the same guy Cleveland got for a 4th rounder?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that never almost happened.

Such shitty reporting... Clearly these guys are just attempting to recycle last week's news while adding nothing of substance.

Trade talks COULD surface? What is he even saying? You can replace Cooks' name with any player in the league and it would hold the same meaning. If the Eagles call the Saints to ask if Cooks is available, Loomis says no and hangs up, then technically trade talk surfaced, but that in no way means the Saints have interest in trading him.

"Tom Brady's name could surface in trade talks this offeason"

"Adam Schefter could be fired by ESPN, amd Rappaport by NFLN, for being jackasses"
Technically, they COULD be fired for being jackasses, but likely won't.

While I think Thomas is our best receiver, Cooks is very close and why trade him if that leads to more Coleman drops and Snead seems always a little injured.

This trade would have happened before we realized how good Thomas is. I don't believe the rumors one bit. Next off season if we can get Leonard Williams for Cooks and a 4th I would do it.

Really? You're going to come on here with some Shefty or Rap bullshite?

Get the frick out of here with that bullshite. Payton but it best (well I always use the shite on the wall analogy but it wouldn't be a good look for him).

I'd prefer we keep him, but as always it depends on what we get in return

We aren't. This would have happened right around when Ellerbe was getting healthy and Robertson was playing lights out.

And if Cle got him for a 3rd or 4th there is no fricking way in hell we were offering Cooks.

With how our DT future is shaping up it would be horrible to get rid of a very good WR for Williams and a 4th rounder. LW is a DT right?

I think he will get traded in the off-season.

100%, because NE would have taken it. Maybe we wanted like Collins+hella picks or something. But not just like Cooks for Collins straight up.

How many times are we going to get trade raped by New England before we learn our lesson?
