Perhaps no free agent the Raiders had this offseason was more of a key part to their team than Jared Cook. So, of course they’re letting him walk away. The 2018 Pro Bowler is set to sign with the New Orleans Saints according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The #Saints are expected to sign free agent TE Jared Cook, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. One of the top free agents still out there, Cook gives QB Drew Brees an immediate big-time weapon.

At 31 years of age, Cook had a career year in Jon Gruden’s offense last season.
