Cooks seems to be a nice pickup. But they did pay to get him. Think his stats will inflate due to Brady, but not sure he will breakout by himself. Yet, great career move and the Patriots do get better. So it's all going to appear like a win.
Titans steal Patriots starting corner, Logan Ryan. 16th ranked corner. Also added #1 ranked run safety Cyprien. With Lebeau using a big nickel package with a 3rd safety on the field, Cyprien basically becomes another LB in that package. Good fit.
Belicheck must have nudes of somebody in that front office. Cooks is only 23, still on his rookie deal, and is a top 10 receiver. With Gronk coming back this Patriots offense will be deadlier than ever.
I like the deal for the Pats but I also like it for the Saints. It seems like Cooks was becoming a bit of a problem child for them and their receiving corps will be fine with Thomas as their one, Snead as the two, and Ginn as the three with Fleener at tight end. This gives them more picks to improve their woeful defense. Even just a middle of the pack d with their really good offense would have them in the playoff mix. And then in the postseason with Brees anything can happen.
The fact NE has been targeting a WR so strongly actually makes me wonder what they think about Gronk's longterm ability to contribute.
Probably? They brought in every FA running back. Spoiler Though Jamal Charles visit is still on. Spoiler
Oh man...what did Zeke Elliot do now? Lifting a girl's shirt without consent exposing her chest. I feel a 2 game suspension coming on. This is going over bad on the radio. Some calling for criminal charges even. Get your popcorn ready!
While I have to think that Elliot was essentially asked to pull down her shirt, or dared, he has to be dumb as shiot to do it, or drunk. I would not be surprised if she had already pulled down her shirt at least once before given the camera is on her and she's pointing at them. I won't think to much of it. Whatever was happening seemed to be a breastcentric situation.
Patriots win SB three more times in a row. Then, Brady retires. And, the NFL can finally be competitive again.
While that still looks great on paper and there's no doubt the Pats have gotten even better than last year, they're omitting the 1st and 3rd round picks they sent in the Cooks deal.
