It was a discussion of fit and scheme and comfort level. Basically saying no matter how well he played on the outside New England would never pay him as a #1 WR because with Brady their primary targets will always be the slot WR (Edelman, Amendola), TEs and RBs.
People here basically think Cooks was "good not great" in the Patriots offense. They think the Rams overpaid. But they also agree he fits in LA better and that the teams are in different places. The Patriots actually have more needs/holes right now on their roster.
I live in CT. Tons of Pats fans here. They rationalize every move they make as a good move, even the JimmyG move.
It does make sense that they wouldn't give up a 1st round pick for a WR if it was only Brady that they were focused on.
