BREAKING: Jerry Jones Sparks Domestic Outrage as Brandin Cooks and Saints Agree to 2-Year Deal, Reuniting WR with First NFL Team
In a shocking turn of events, veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks is set to leave the Dallas Cowboys and reunite with the New Orleans Saints on a two-year deal, per league sources. The decision, reportedly backed by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, has sparked domestic outrage among Dallas fans, who were hoping to see Cooks remain a key part of the team’s offense.
Cooks Reunites with Saints After a Decade Apart
Brandin Cooks, originally drafted by the Saints in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, spent his rookie years in New Orleans before bouncing around the league, playing for the Patriots, Rams, Texans, and Cowboys. Now, after a decade away, he returns to where his career started.
Cooks, 30, was a reliable deep threat for the Cowboys in 2023, finishing the season with 657 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns. While his production wasn’t as explosive as in previous years, his veteran presence was expected to be crucial for a Dallas team looking to make a deeper playoff run in 2024.
Dallas Fans Furious at Jerry Jones’ Decision
The move has left many Cowboys fans frustrated, with some blaming Jerry Jones for failing to keep Cooks in Dallas. With CeeDee Lamb still at the helm of the receiving corps, losing a reliable veteran like Cooks leaves a hole in the offense.
Social media erupted with criticism, with some fans calling Jones’ decision “another classic Cowboys front-office blunder.” Others questioned why Dallas didn’t offer Cooks a competitive extension, especially with the team needing more firepower to compete with top NFC contenders.
What This Means for the Saints
For the Saints, this signing is a significant move. New Orleans has been looking for more offensive weapons to support quarterback Derek Carr, and Cooks’ ability to stretch the field should complement the young star Chris Olave well.
With Michael Thomas’ future uncertain and the Saints looking to reclaim dominance in the NFC South, bringing in Cooks could prove to be a smart move—especially considering his familiarity with the franchise.
Final Thoughts
While the Saints celebrate the return of a former first-round talent, the Cowboys now have to fill the void left by Cooks. Whether Jerry Jones has a backup plan remains to be seen, but for now, Dallas fans are left scratching their heads, wondering what this means for their Super Bowl aspirations in 2024.
