Saints have no doubt Brandin Cooks will be back next season

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said he "absolutely" expects wide receiver Brandin Cooks to return in 2017.

What It Means:

There was some rumors about Cooks being traded this offseason, but the Saints are expected to pick up his fifth-year option. Cooks, Michael Thomas and Willie Snead give the Saints one of the best receiving trios in the league.

Cooks's 0.84 Reception Net Expected Points per target was the second-best mark among the 41 wide receivers with at least 100 targets in 2016.
