Bears and Patriots Trade

[RamCub]

The Patriots have acquired TE Martellus Bennett and a 6th round pick from the Bears in exchange for a fourth round pick.

We should have traded Jared Cook at the deadline when we had the chance instead of just cutting him for nothing!

Problem is RamsCub, everyone already knows what the Rams FO apparently doesn't. That being Cook is an over-rated, over-paid BS artist that many other teams want nothing to do with. When the Rams cut him, it just confirmed their suspicions and thus no trade would have materialized.

Cook was in Green Bay talking to Packers management.

You're right Retro. I even recall Courtland Finnegan, his teammate from Tennessee, questioning the judgement of the front office the day we signed him.

Yep, I remember that little stint by Finnegan as well. Of course all of that was swept under the rug so we could watch yet another FA failure for the next three-to-four years of futility.

Nobody was going to take Cook at his old salary. He's the last remaining name guy available now even without that salary hanging over his head. Jim Dray signed before Cook.
