candyman93 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Quote Veteran tight end Jared Cook and the New Orleans Saints are close to a contract agreement, according to a report from Pro Football Talk. Cook’s addition comes after the player visited New Orleans as the league year began in an effort to test the marketplace this offseason after a successful outing in Oakland. https://247sports.com/Article/Saints-Jared-Cook-close-to-deal-130320168/ Not a whole lot of options available. This was probably the best and only move they could make in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I was wondering who was going to sign him. I am very surprised that he didn't remain a Raider, he looked like he had great chemistry with Carr. Any reason the raiders aren't bringing him back @RaidersAreOne? This would be a great signing for NO. I think he is a good fit for that offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Great for the Saints, he’s a heck of a TE. @N4L I’m assuming we don’t think Cook is worth Top 5 TE money and could certainly draft Noah Fant in the 1st with our three 1sts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsfan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Glad to finally hear something. I'm hoping we got him on a team-friendly deal due to lack of perceived interest in the media. He met with us a week ago and its been radio silence since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsfan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Sidenote: has PFT ever broken news before? They didn't tag or quote anyone, they're claiming this is their own source. We might want to wait for more official word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they want to get younger at tight end and not commit a lot of money considering they paid brown and Tyrell williams already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Cook is a really good TE. The biggest things going against him is age and consistency. When he is on, he's one of the best receiving threats at the position. However there were times where he was obviously disengaged and gave up on the play. Overall, I expect he didn't stay due to financial reasons and the fact he's chasing a ring. Good luck in NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
