According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Cooks repeatedly complained about Drew Brees' ability to "get him the ball deep."

According to Rapoport, Cooks believed Brees' declining arm strength was "the elephant in the room" and "couldn't be talked about on any level."

Rely more on the running game and help your QB out. Oh wait....

I get your point, and agree, but I don't think cooks asked to be traded to New England. Also it's Rapport so it probably isn't even true.

nice to see the writer actually do some homework with statistics that show he is full of shite.

There is some reality about age and arm strength but this isn't a meaningful issue with him yet.

I remember the first interview I heard with him after his first minicamp and how impressed I was with his mindset and how down to earth he seemed. He has since revealed himself to be quite the diva.

Looked to me about 38'ish as he was in the endzone. Was a perfect pass on the fly and Cooks did not have to slow down one bit.
