Michael Lombardi: Saints to decide Cooks' fate by late Friday

Probably nothing to see here, but the only thing I could make of this is that the offers for Cooks are as we expect - not near what the Saints are looking for and so the Saints maybe just shut talks down for now.

Lombardi is a Patriots' shill, so Friday is probably when New England pulls out of the race.

How do you deduce that from that report.
Sounds like to me that they will continue to hammer out talks and throw around trade ideas and if they don't like anything they see then they will bail

He has a roster bonus due tomorrow. $780k isn't much, but it is a unecessary cap hit and is definitely incentive to get a trade done today if they are going to move him.

don't think that is even a consideration, besides im pretty sure whatever they do doesn't get stamped official until the NFL gives final approval on the deal (I think that's how trades work) so that time stamp is when he is "officially" no longer on "our" team and his new team owes him the roster bonus instead besides that being such a small amount it wouldn't be saved money in either case or anything that comes up on the radar as a consideration when talking about a deal like this

Lombardi is a hack and needs to sit the frick down.

I love how everyone assumes every reporter is a hack nowadays. Some of these fricks have to be right

He's not a reporter.

Or they have great offers from multiple teams and are trying to see if they can squeeze out a little more before pulling the trigger.

It is a consideration. It's a roster bonus, so if he is on our team on the date of the bonus, we pay it and it counts against our cap. Not sure if the bonus is due tomorrow or Monday, but if we don't have paperwork filed with the NFL by then, we pay that bonus.
Again, it would be wasted money and cap space if he is still on our roster and trade him after. Now $780k is not enough to make it like a hard deadline. It is not $5M, but it is a consideration.

If Lombardi wants to do Belichick a favor, he'd cool off. Players can't help but wonder where the message is rooted. Human nature.
From Jeff Howe. He's trying to make a name for himself at the Ringer by being the "unofficial voice" of the Pats, but is only undermining what they are doing

not disagreeing about it should be something they were looking at but.....
my point was that I think its too late to get paperwork filed now so its already too late to beat that deadline even though the bonus date hasnt yet passed.
I say that because I think even if the trade was agreed to today, it takes a day or two to be filed and im pretty sure until its approved by NFL office things like timed bonus are not prorated back to when the agreement was made, but maybe im wrong about that?

I think the roster bonus is due Monday and you just have to file the paperwork with the league the business day before. I believe the effective date of the trade is the day the paperwork is filed despite when it is approved.

"despite when it is approved"
ok, that would be cool then, and im sure you are right, if that's the case they would prefer to do it before then
