NFL Trade Rumors: Brandin Cooks Possibly Headed to Philadelphia Eagles, Tennessee Titans

He is coming off back-to-back 1,000-plus yard seasons and was drafted in the first round of the 2014 draft. Cooks would be a huge addition for either team, and his availability should have both front offices scrambling to get this trade hammered out.

In any case, New Orleans Saints have a considerable measure of ability at wide receiver (counting 2016 breakout player Michael Thomas) and an unnecessary measure of ability on offense in respect to their ability on defense, reports Cbs Sports.

Willie Snead chipped in 72 grabs for 895 yards and four touchdowns, which could make Cooks expendable provided the Saints don’t want to commit long-term money to him.

As much as I love some of the wide receivers in the 2017 draft, there’s absolutely no guarantee any of them will be as talented as Brandin Cooks.

Nearly as importantly as what he would give the Eagles on the field, he makes a lot of sense from a financial standpoint. As a rookie, he caught 53 passes for 550 yards (10.4 average) and three touchdowns. The team holds a fifth-year option on him, which will likely be exercised and will likely cost around $8.5 million for 2018. Keep in mind, the two best wide receiver prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft, Mike Williams and Corey Davis, are only a year younger, with zero NFL experience. They traded tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks in 2015 for center Max Unger and a first-round pick.

The New Orleans Saints’ aerial attack could look very different next season if this trade rumor pans out. All 32 teams have descended upon Indianapolis looking for their future stars, and the draft prospects have showed up looking to make a distinct impression. It might take a first round pick for the Saints to part ways with their receiver. “He’s also a rocked-up 190 some-odd pounds and a physical player”.

Marvez was also a guest on 97.5 The Fanatic on Friday morning, and noted that while the Eagles seem like a likely landing spot for Cooks, they do not seem likely to sign DeSean Jackson as a free agent. But Cooks is versatile and would give coach Doug Pederson an underneath weapon to utilize in his multifaceted offense.
