Reese is getting one in the draft and it's a nice class. No more Donnell flips.Packers won the Marty B sweepstakes
hes small. If brady and him are on the same page, the speed between him and edelman should be ridiculously tough to cover. Hogan and Cooks working to take the top off as well. All relies on health TBH of Edelman. He looked a step slow or 2 even throughout the season until down the stretch and the playoffs. Brady was throwing to where he thought edelman was, and they just weren't connecting until late season/playoffs where he turned into late 2014/early2015 edelman. He's always been a bit fragile so it's nice to have cooks as well in terms of insurance. Of course another factor is Gronk staying healthy as well, and if all of them are healthy this should be the best pats offense we've seen
And whoops has to be brought up, but this is also assuming Tom continues to win the battle against father time.
Pats culture
seems that way, although I wouldn't be surprised if he's signed to a minimum or around that as a redzone/possesion wr. He's more like mitchell than cooks.
Eagles were already out and Titans probably figured he wasn't worth a mid first round pick.

Schefter saying they could still trade Butler to the saints later on

For now
Yeah was just reading that. I'm just glad it wasn't as part of the cooks deal. Don't understand what could possibly lure him away.
Second time today Nuk talking shit to Ramsey via twitter:

I thought you guys wanted to get rid of Cooks?
Great addition by the Skins with the addition of Pryor. With Garcon and D.Jax leaving it left a hole to fill by unproven 1st Rd'er Doctson, luckily that's not a concern this year. The team and FO is a fucking mess but at least we are not the Browns. That's the only silver lining with this team.

Butler can't be traded until he signs his RFA tender, if he's going to be traded
Supposedly Titans offered up the 18th. Not to mention the butler tumors. Settling for 32nd pick must be a bummer after past few days.
You still have Brees, relax.
Who. Cooks opened up the other WRs. We will see what happens this season when teams focus on Michael Thomas.
They make meals.

If this is the end. If this is the last great pats team. I could think of no better super bowl.
I agree. My cowboys will not make the playoffs. The giants will win the division. Eli or Aaron are our hope to stop the patriots. I don't understands why teams keep helping Bill and the patriots.
You can look at his actual nfl gametape?
The dude is good but his route running will never be close to the same level
He's a burner
Jedi mind trick. It has to be.

He takes people who are on the last year of deals or who teams have grown tired of

Cooks won't approach anything like Antonio Brown. It's not like he's been in a bad offense, he's been in one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL for his career. But, the combination of Cooks + Gronk + Edelman + the running backs will be a near impossible group to stop for any defense, unless Brady gets injured or the offensive line takes a step back.
The rich seem to have gotten richer.
I also think this deal is indicative of the Patriots dishing Garoppolo, as they wouldn't give up a 1st and 3rd without expecting to have something in their back pocket, plus the cap room.
Also maybe Cooks didn't want to go to Tennessee. If he signaled that he wouldn't resign a longer deal, then Tennessee could pull back.

I think I'd rather be the Browns actually at this point.
The 30-32nd pick are very valuable because it's lowest on the pay scale with the extra year afforded to the 1st round pick rookie contract but it's also close enough to a second round pick to make it obtainable.

I don't know why NO would trade Cooks
He wanted out.

And who wouldn't want to play with the GOAT? Right?
Brown's route running wasn't much better his first few years in the league. He didn't really explode until his 4th season. Cooks is still only 23. Not saying he will be Browns level, just there's a chance if he improves a lot. He has the raw talent/athleticism. We'll see.
Njoku, Howard, or Butt. Nice TE class. (Plus the Mississippi TE)
They will probably grab Williams or John Ross in the 1st round.

Hearing rumors of a Brandon Marshall trade...will trust it as silly rumors until something happens

*screams into air*
Such slanderous words.
I've heard a lot of people around here say his agent sucks and doesn't know what he's doing, but obviously if he's advising Butler not to sign the tender then he's doing a pretty good job. Just the smart thing to do.
