The New Orleans Saints reached an agreement Friday to trade wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the New England Patriots.

According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, the Patriots will receive Cooks and a fourth-round pick (No. 118 overall) in exchange for their first-round pick (No. 32 overall) and a third-round pick (No. 103 overall).

Cooks enjoyed plenty of success during his three years within New Orleans' high-powered passing attack. The 2014 first-round pick caught 215 passes for 2,861 yards and 20 touchdowns in 42 games. He topped the 1,100-yard mark each of the past two seasons.
