The Saints of New Orleans clearly knew that they had to add another weapon to the great room of the receiver so that Derek Carr to be launched and they did it by recently bringing together with the broad receiver of Brandin Cooks.
He was underestimated throughout his 11-year career, but was almost forgotten when the free agency opened. Cooks could only appear in 10 games last year with Dallas Cowboys due to an injury. His figures were not up to his typical standards probably thanks to the knee infection he treated.
Although this is the case, he has six seasons with more than 1,000 yards to his credit and approaches the 10,000 yards mark for his career. It’s a big problem and the saints are lucky to have it. The agreement already has praised And the pro football focus’ Ben Cooper called it the New Orleans agreement with the “highest upwards”.
“Holy New Orleans: WR Brandin Cooks,” said Cooper. “Contract: two years, $ 13 million. Cooks is withdrawn from three years from its last season of 1000 yards and missed an important part of 2024 with a knee infection. But the saints desperately needed a WR2 to associate Chris Olave, who himself comes out of a season trained by concussion, and Cooks offers a lot of backup.
“The 31-year-old began his career in the NFL with the saints, amazing two seasons of 1000 yards and 20 touched receptions. Although the best years of cooks are behind him, New Orleans did well to add a proven veteran to his reception bodies before the draft of NFL 2025.”
