New Orleans Saints: Jared Cook will play instrumental role in offense

If the addition of Jared Cook reaps benefits that are even close to the production the New Orleans Saints got from Jimmy Graham, his signing may go down as the offseason’s best move. Even a marginal upgrade from Ben Watson will immensely help the offense.

Last season, outside of Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, the Saints weaponry around Drew Brees was thin. They didn’t have too many over-the-top threats as tight end Ben Watson ranked fourth on the team with just 400 yards in 2018.

Brees, who threw for just under 4,000 yards, led the team to a 13-2 record.
