But, seriously, he's pretty damn good. I'm sorry to see him go, but this is standard operating procedure for Belichick. I imagine they reached out to discuss an extension (he's entering the last year of his contract) and found out the numbers, and decided to move on and get value.


Summary of the Cooks deals:

1. Pats trade 2017 pick 32 for Cooks, getting one year of performance (1,000 yards, 7 TDs) for cheap (like $2M last year I think);

2. Pats then flip Cooks along with a 4th rounder to get the 23 pick in the 2018 draft along with a 6th rounder.


I can hear BB now. "Good value there"

One less weapon for old man Brady. Who is he going to throw it to when Gronk is on the bench hurt again?
