It's been said that one can always make up excuses to fit a narrative.
Maybe he was expendable since Mike Thomas is better? But no...it was Drew Brees who couldn't get the ball to Cooks. lol
Let's see how everyone feels when Cooks demands $18 million next year.
As for the comparison...Brown catches about 20 more balls a year than Cooks. That's big but the size comparisons are valid. Both have been playing with HOF QBs.
Sooner or later the Saints would have to choose between Thomas and Cooks because the cap doesn't favor teams giving 2 WRs top 2nd contracts. Along come the Patz offering a pick so they had a chance to choose sooner rather than later.
