The New Orleans Saints are finalizing a deal with wide receiver Brandin Cooks, according to multiple reports. Saints beat writer Nick Underhill was first to report the news. Cooks's deal is two years in length and worth $13 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cooks, an 11-year NFL veteran, was drafted by the Saints back in 2014 and spent the first three seasons of his career with the franchise. Cooks's rookie season in New Orleans was limited to just seven games after he broke his thumb. But the Stockton, Calif. native enjoyed a breakout campaign in '15, tallying 84 receptions for 1,138 yards receiving and nine touchdowns.
