Patriots trying to acquire Cooks from the Saints

[NWPATSFAN]

First, the Pats have Cooks for two years. Pats have a 5th year team option. Floyd isn't on the team...he's a FA. Hogan, Edelman, Mitchell and Amendola are all under contract. Add Cooks and that is 5 WRs. This offense will be explosive. Cooks, Hogan and Mitchell can all go deep. Brady will spread the ball around. Guys will be open. Hogan should love this. He will be open even more. Who do you double team? This makes it even easier with Gronk on the field or if he gets hurt.

Pats have made defensive moves via FA. More moves to come.

Yes Cooks for two but you'll want to sign him in the 5th year before he hits FA. Amendola won't be on the team at his current price. Don't get me wrong I think DA should get paid he's been a team guy by restructuring twice already.
Who would you double last year when Gronk was healthy? That's my point. They added a nice receiver but there are only so many balls to go around in a game. Who knows with Cooks and Allen signed and not signing Blount (yet) maybe BBs plan next year is to pass 50x a game?

Why? We have everything to repeat?????

Still need LB and a DE. A hard hitting safety would be great but not a priority. Also need to find an Olinemen somewhere for the future.

Would like to see them improve at Center as well. Andrews gets manhandled at times.

False story alright lol

Right, because things don't ever change during FA

Saints didn't want the deal because they wanted a mid 1st and that wasn't going to happen, making the story false.

Saints found they couldn't get what they wanted and reopened the deal is what it looks like now.

You would think you would know that ~2 weeks in the NFL is an eternity.

Wow! I'm so burned. How will I go on???!!

Funny thing is they have never drafted a WR or even a RB in the first round, in the Belichick era. Last 1st round WR was Terry Glenn in 96

They drafted Maroney in the 1st round.
