  1. Who do we have at wr besides olave and vele? And this show it’s a good chance we drafting a wr in the 1st rd

  2. $8M guaranteed for a 32 year old undersized “speed” WR that already left on sour terms once before. Wtf was Mickey thinking

  3. IIRC, there was a chart that showed WR ability to separate and get open against zone and man coverage posted not long ago. Cooks was pretty bottom of the barrel for both.

  4. If Shough manages to be decent with his weapons looking like Olave, Juwan, Vele, and Tipton I will deadass think he’s our next franchise savior

  5. Averaging 2.5 targets per game w/zero targets last week. My guess is that he wants to showcase himself for a job next season and he sees the writing on the wall here. Not sure where he would get more action but he’s trying to prolong his career.

  6. If it was mutual, I’m guessing we recouped some money? Otherwise no reason to release him mid season

  7. I’m coming down for the game this weekend. I’m available to play. I haven’t played in like twenty years but I think I’ve got some gas left.

  8. Im not mad at Cooks, but i never really understood the signing. Yes, im glad we tried to put more weapons around our young QB. But he’s just not what we needed, Loomis clearly knew that seeing as he still traded for Vele.

  9. Oh shit. That sucks man. He didn’t have any targets in the Panthers game so maybe they’re trying to get a look at the young guys and want to be fair to him so he can play somewhere and get some opportunities.

    Sucks though, that veteran presence in the WR room can’t be understated and I’m not sure how I feel about anyone outside Olave. 

  10. Still don’t understand why we brought back a dude who threw a fit when MT was playing better than him

  11. Why tf did he even sign here then? No way he didn’t think we’d be in “rebuilding” mode.
