Jeffery reportedly wants $14m or something. No way I'd do that deal.

It's on my MacBook whilst using Safari. Every time I open a page or I post, it reloads, says that a problem occurred on the page and it had to reload. Don't have it on any other website, just GAF.
I wouldn't either, but this is the latest news I've heard:
He's asking for that but I don't think he'll get it. If we could get him for 12M with incentives for injury/suspension prevention I'd be down. Plus, I think Britt, Cooks, etc. getting locked up early means his price will drop
No team want's to get Mike Wallaced

RIP Malcom "the Hero" Butler
Blow NO out of the water with your 18th pick TEN, don't even give NE a chance.

It would be a good trade on both ends and that infuriates me.

Malcolm, No!
my guess would be 32nd pick and Butler for Cooks and probably a 3rd round pick.

Can't stay on field due to injury. Got popped for PED. Sure. Totally worth $14m.

What a shit deal for the Pats that would be.

I have no interest in the trade in the first place. Even less if they need to send something along with Butler to pick up Cooks.
Edit: Harmon looks to be coming back to the Pats.
Cooks isn't worth Butler plus a 1st, even if it's 32. He doesn't even want to be in NO, they have plenty of other receivers and desperately need defense. Meanwhile the Pats are basically letting their defense, which was a huge part of their success last season, leave in FA. Cooks is good and will help Brady but this doesn't make sense for the Pats

That seems really bad for the Pats

Draft is CB deep and they know it. Could pick up a CB in round 2 or even round 3 to replace Butler. Butler and pick 32 seems like a fair trade for a high quality starting WR.

We don't have that much of a need at WR.

Saints take Ted Ginn Jr and AJ Klein from the Panthers.
AJ Klein is a very competent back-up/emergency starter LB, but he's no Kuechly and that showed badly when Luke was out last year
Y'all know Ginn.

It's stupid. Gimp is combing back to the offense which is better than any offensive free agent on the market. You also get rid of a player your know can play in your system vs an unknown.
The Rams signed a 35 year old lineman. Ok.
Probably for depth and experience.

lol yeah "excitement"
That would be fucking atrocious.
But the Pats have plenty of fine WRs on the roster already, and Malcolm Butler is a two-time SB winner and has been excellent. Cooks is a high quality receiver, but he's not Top 20 in the league, whereas Butler arguably is. And I'd say an elite CB is more important than an elite receiver. Butler for Cooks straight up is a little lopsided but better, but giving up the pick too seems dumb
Rumor is they're going after Alshon, which makes more sense. Alshon and Smith complement each other more than Cooks and Smith. Or like you said, get Corey Davis
Raiders and Marty B have mutual interest.
Saints would have to give Butler a new contract. Cooks has 2 more years left before he gets a new deal.
Pats need to upgrade their WR. Edelman and Amendola are in their 30s. Hogan close to 30. Mitchell is the only young guy there. Also Pats not that great drafting WRs.

Not really analyzing it from a need perspective, just a evenness of trade perspective. Amendola and Edelman are FAs next season, and both over 30. Getting the jump this season on a WR to replace either of them next year is forward thinking.
So is Butler. Why keep Butler around this season just to lose him next? Better to draft a CB and get playing experience for him.

And they are throwing out ridiculous money:

@MikeGarafolo
WR Pierre Garçon's deal w/ Niners expected to be a three-year contract that pays about $23m over the first two years w/ ~$12m signing bonus.

I do think we need to get younger, but Cooks is a terrible fit for the team in terms of salary requirement. If we're looking at the future I would keep hogan and mitchell. Sign Robert woods. Draft McCaffrey at 32. If he works as a running back in the NFL, fantastic. If he doesn't, then move him to the slot.
edit: I keep butler around because he's good. I'd like the Pats to work something out with him, but worse case scenario he's with us for another year. I also have no interest in trading away the 32nd pick for a rental WR.
cooks is a free agent next year so that helps them how when he wants his money?

They can extend him this year and reduce the overall cap impact. He's a young talented receiver, that part makes sense. If Amendola or Edelman were 2-3 years younger they'd do the same thing.
Good, I was worried they were getting competent under McCLoughan's rule
he has a team option for next year.

For 8 million. Far more than we pay for receivers (typically).

mccloughan is getting forced out lol
Would be a terrible trade for the Saints. Although I guess they don't have much leverage since everyone knows Cooks wants out.

It's like the Redskins' hit their darkest timeline, while my Niners finally see some light in that players actually want to come play here now. Surreal.
