re: Saints trade Cooks & 4th round pick to Pats for 32 pick plus 3rd round pick

So we don't have a 4th now?

Thomas is the one that will be franchised in the future, not Cooks.

We would have to consider tagging Cooks a second time before it would affect our ability to franchise Thomas.

ESPN sucks for having the title say Cooks traded for 1st and 3rd. In the last paragraph it adds that they gave up a 4th.

I'm not all in on this. Seems like Loomis overplayed the whole "will take a lot" crap.

I hope the 18 was never in the table from tenn.

Simply not trading him was still an option. I'm obviously not part of the locker room, but I don't think Cooks complaining about his role and a few douchey tweets was some irreparable situation.

I disagree. When Drew goes a whole game without throwing to his #1/2 WR in a game when he could have made any throw he wanted, and then the WR publicly complains afterword, that's too much smoke for there to be no fire.

Same thing happened with Jimmy Graham the season before he was traded.

[quote]Can also package picks to trade up but I like where they are now.


Yes! This is what scares the hell out of me.

Anything short of Butler involved should have been shot down immediately

Half this board will be happy when Saints take Tre White with the 32nd selection.

La Confora originally said Butler was included, then took it back.

Now he's acting like an under the deal trade could be in place

I sure in the frick hope so but I'll reserve judgement until it happens and depending on what we give in trade 2.

I mean this is Canfora saying this so could be 100% fabrication.

well I saw the pats did get some extra draft picks doing other trades so hopefully we find out tomorrow that we are getting a higher number 3rd round pick then the #32 pick in the third round
