New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton confirmed that, to his knowledge, free agent tight end Jared Cook signed his contract with the team, and he’s excited to have him. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network followed up that statement with details on the contract between Cook and the Saints, though he curiously noted that Cook will sign it later on Tuesday. Maybe the time zone difference between Phoenix, where Payton is attending league owners meetings, and New Orleans threw him off.
Either way, Rapoport reported that Cook’s contract is a two-year deal that totals out to $15.
