Ex-Cowboys 657 Yard, 8 TD Regrets Saints Move After 4 Straight Losses

Leaving Dallas this offseason was meant to be a fresh start. But after just a few weeks in New Orleans, disappointment is already setting in, with the Saints stumbling to four consecutive losses out of the gate.

 

The veteran wideout voiced his frustration following the team’s latest defeat, admitting the situation has been far from what he envisioned when he agreed to leave Dallas for New Orleans back in March.

 

Brandin Cooks, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Saints according to ESPN, reflected openly: "I regret leaving Dallas for New Orleans. Four straight losses with the Saints make it hard to see any future here. In Dallas, there was always hope, and the fans stood by us no matter what. That kind of loyalty and unity is something I’ll never forget."

 

Cooks had been a steady contributor for the Cowboys, producing 657 yards and eight touchdowns across 15 games in 2024. His departure after two seasons surprised fans who viewed him as a trusted WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb.

 

Through three games in New Orleans, Cooks has been limited to just seven receptions for 85 yards and one touchdown, per NFL.com. The Saints’ four-game losing skid has highlighted their lack of offensive identity and intensified his feelings of regret.

Reaction to his move has been sharp since March. On X, @CowboysNation lamented the loss of a “trusted WR2,” worrying that George Pickens and Lamb would need more veteran support. For Cooks, the question now is how long his Saints chapter will last.
