I think this board forgets we just played a season with a 38 year old TE...Cook is a kid compared to Watson.

His best year came at age 31 playing for a bad team that played from behind in most of its games (and had traded away its top WR). He was their main receiving target, so his stats may be a bit inflated. He has never been a reliable red zone target despite his size.


I understand your concerns but go watch his 2018-19 highlights. He was finally utilized the last 2 seasons and his route running and catching looks good. He took over games last season. A great weapon as a #2-3 WR/TE.

We definitely need to sign him. I just hope we do not dramatically overpay.

He’s currently locked in a cell and tied to a chair. He’s not allowed to eat or drink until he signs a contract.

This, don't let him leave until a deal is worked out. Steal his ID so he can't board a plane, kidnap him, whatever it takes.

Drew Brees? slinging it? The guy can hardly hit a 5 yard out to Kamara at this point

I can’t believe there’s no news on this yet.

He must be asking for too much but can’t move on because options are limited.

Agreed. This could be the most important signing. Not many teams have a Lber that can run with Kamara.

Almost none have 2 to run with Kamara and a legit TE. Could force teams In to zone defense.

Chiefs saw a lot of that due to their 3/4 key players.

Relax. He got t o Nola yesterday and hasn't left yet. I'll be surprised if he leaves without a contract.

Would love some news to break on this. Even if we over pay a bit this needs to happen.

It’s seems like he has been here a week already. When did he get to NOLA?

I’m at a soccer tournament in B.F. Mississippi with shite reception. It took about 10 minutes for the picture to fully load, but I laughed.

Reminds me of the Suh saga last year. That dragged on forever lol. I guess I'm impatient. I feel like if this happens we're done for FA and can stockpile the trenches for depth in the draft. Maybe snag another WR.

Suh was quick at least with scheduling additional visits and flying out.

Till I hear Cook left or goes on additional trips I am going to assume we are attempting to sign him.

if he leaves and schedules something else my expectations will drop significantly.
