Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2691110, member: 652"] Cooks worked out for NE completely. They traded a first(32nd overall) and fourth for one year of a 1000 yard WR on a rookie contract and 5th round pick. They traded him on his 5th year option and 5th round pick for a first round pick(23rd overall) and a fourth round pick. They knew the market for WRs and didn’t want to pay Cooks 5 years 80 million with 50.5 million guaranteed. Cooks was a steal for NE. They didn’t lose any value in the draft and got him for one year on cheap money. Cooks was the best player on the Patriots in the AFC title game. He won them that game with his play. He got a 41 yard PI at the end of the first half to get the score 14-10 and he was the main target the rest of the game while Amendola caught the 2 TDs. The insane pay day he was going to get was why he was traded. NO knew it as well that is why they traded him they had replacements and didn’t want to pay him what he would get. [/QUOTE]
