I mean Anthony Barr just backed out of a similar “pending” deal
He did, but that's not the norm. The Jets are basically done with his agent now.
It's a gentleman's agreement & if an agent doesn't keep his word...some teams won't even deal with him in the future.
If Cook ends up not signing with us...there will be a lot of hostility between the Saints & Cook's agent. That's the business.
As far as the agent is concerned...it's better to keep your word or you'll find it harder to get fair dollar for your clients in the future. You can also bank that the team you screwed will be bad mouthing you around the league.
It's like accepting a deal with the mob. You can back out if you want, but it comes with consequences.

Like they blackballed Leveon Bell's agent too huh 
I dont think the players give a shite about a team's feelings given the current owner/player relationship in the NFL. Ultimately the player is making the call, so the theory of the agent being blackballed by the team is silly.
Barr got $33 mil guaranteed at age 27. This is Cook's last crack at big money. I think it's naive to believe they have any sort of loyalty to a team until the pen hits the paper
