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 LB Proud of His Decision to Leave Struggling Ravens After Their Disastrous 1-3 Start
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker room has quietly become one of the most stable units in the AFC North. With veterans stepping up and the defense regaining its edge, one recent addition is starting to draw attention for both his impact and timing. After leaving his previous team in the offseason, the veteran linebacker found himself watching from afar as his former squad stumbled through a rough 1-3 start. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s 3-1 record and strong locker-room chemistry are reinforcing what he calls “a culture built on real football.” He’s been praised by teammates for his discipline, leadership, and adaptability — three traits that fit perfectly with Mike Tomlin’s defensive philosophy. During team drills and early-season reps, he’s consistently made his presence felt, both on special teams and as a rotational defender. Now, as the Steelers prepare for another AFC North clash, the 26-year-old says he feels exactly where he’s supposed to be. That player is Malik Harrison, who signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Steelers back in March. A former Ravens linebacker, Harrison admitted he’s been keeping an eye on his old team’s early-season struggles — and the results have only strengthened his confidence in the decision he made: “I’ve always respected how the Steelers play football – hard, physical, and with heart,” he said. “To put on this jersey now, it means a lot. I’m proud to be part of a team that plays for something bigger. I’ve seen what’s going on in Baltimore disastrous 1-3 Start, and I’m just glad to be here fighting for wins.” For Pittsburgh, it’s another quiet victory in team-building — adding a player who not only understands the AFC North, but also carries extra motivation every time he faces his old colors.
