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.

Steelers Linked To Saints SuperStar With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade
Pittsburgh, PA — According to a  circulating on X (Twitter), the Pittsburgh Steelers have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Steelers look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set that meshes with Pittsburgh’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Pittsburgh intriguing two-back looks alongside Najee Harris on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Black and Gold really excites me.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Steelers or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Pittsburgh whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Steelers Nation perk up.
