He's so dreamyyyyy
Bet he loves him some Whataburger. Probably a bacon/cheese kind of guy.
He should be a hero of NFL GAF!

Hey now they already had Trent Dilfer!
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
On top of it all, at least the Saints won it in recent memory. How many Jets fans are still alive that remember that one?
Dilfer is on another plain of existence. Beyond elite
What over a possible Cooks trade? Nah man its clear Michael Thomas is the future and Snead will still be on the field. As long as we get even somewhat decent compensation for Cooks I think most Saints fans will be okay with a trade. No matter what we have on offense we aren't doing shit without building our defense and we're going to have to do something to get more picks.

He was the 20th pick in the draft just a few years ago, what compensation could they get that would be close to that? I cant imagine anyone given them a first now.

I think that's pretty awesome, I think big weddings are a giant waste of money anyways might as well have some fun with it.
Do the Saints run a 3-4? I could see us trading Kendricks, Barwin, and a 3rd/4th for Cooks

If Howie can turn that shit contract into a pick I will be amazed.

Me to, he has to be one of the most overpaid players in the league. The only problem with trading him is who would be the backup?

There's the 3rd string QB that's on the practice squad. And I kinda expect them to use one of the 5-7 round picks on a QB. But I'm not sure it matters much. If the Eagles (or almost any team really) lose their starting QB the season is toast anyway

Two words..
Michael Thomas.
They don't need Cooks when they can get similar production out of Thomas for cheap.
Tennessee gives NO the 5th pick for Cooks then?
Gata is seeing the light. I'm proud of you Gata.
lol i forgot about that
Yeah I know they have Thomas and Snead. But I dunno, I guess the better statement is I'm not sure what the Eagles can offer that would get them to part with him. I'd love him, but I'd be alright if the Titans get him too. Means one less team that'll potentially take Corey Davis

Hindl pretty much hits it here. They have a guy on the roster, or they could draft a late round backup. Getting out from under Chase's contract would let them get another FA playmaker. Chase's contract makes him easily cuttable next season so teams that need a backup that have good wiggle room in cap space might take him. Maybe he can be the next QB on the Brown's QB carousel.
That's what makes it suicide worthy though. Teams like that Jets there's clearly never any hope so no reason to get your hopes up. The Saints are year after year pissing away the career of an all time great QB never giving him any chance to compete for another SB.
In that case why don't you think Packers fans have it the worst? For 25 consecutive years they've had two of the greatest QBs of all time and have 2 SBs to show for it

Took the words right out of my mouth
I don't remember jumping off a bridge during the nearly 10 years after the Packers lost in 1997 before they even had a chance to sniff a Super Bowl again (although that made 2007 all the worse)

I dont get the Stills thing with the fins. They have a ton of cap space so if they want him back why not just sign him, or even tag him? I am surprised it has gone on for this long, I wonder if that story about his camp asking for $12m a year really is true.

The Titans can give the fifth pick away for Cooks and the Saints first. Saints can use that pick to draft Drew's successor I guess from one of the remaining QBs I suppose could be the Saint's logic since they need to find one in the immediate future before Drew finally breaks down completely.
I don't think the Iggles can compete with that unless they wanted to give away Carson or Fletcher I guess?
lol @ "penciling in" any prospect to the Patriots, like if anyone ever has any idea who they will draft.

New story came out a day or two ago saying we might get him for 8-10, which would be great, I'm sure it's going to come down to the last minute like always.
Here
Well yeah, if the Titans give away a first, let alone pick 5, no way Eagles can compete with that. That's the thing, I think the most the Eagles can offer is a bundle trade of Kendricks/Barwin/3rd round pick. If the Titans go all out to get Cooks then he's theirs. Which again, fine by me. Less competition for Corey Davis. And no, at least for the next several years, Wentz and Cox are going nowhere
Edit: Well with Mech's update that pretty much seals the deal

I am shocked that a team would be willing to trade a first for him, I guess going from 5 to 11 isnt that bad. Man it is going to be tough for the Eagles to match that. I wonder if the Eagles gave up their 1st and got back a 2nd if that would be a better deal for the Saints?
Tell that to Howie
If they're giving up a 1st let them have him. There's plenty of talent the Eagles can get at 14/15. You yourself said the Eagles need CBs, I'd rather use a 1st on that and draft a later round WR/get one in FA. I don't want to give up that first round pick for anything. There's so many blue chip prospects that also line up perfectly with all of the Eagles positions of need

Oh CB is the biggest need by far. I would take that over anything. I was just wondering if that Eagles couldnt make a better package then the titans if they wanted to.
