NEW ORLEANS -- Reports emerged Sunday that Brandin Cooks' frustration over his role in the New Orleans Saints' offense could lead to offseason trade talk. But Saints coach Sean Payton appeared to reject the premise via Twitter.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that multiple NFL teams believe Cooks’ name could surface in trade talks and that some believe a trade was brewing earlier this year with the New England Patriots for linebacker Jamie Collins.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said to expect trade talks to center around Cooks and that his frustration led some to wonder if New Orleans is the best system for his talents.
