Overview

• The scenario comes from Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton and remains an unconfirmed media prediction rather than an agreed-upon deal.
• Pittsburgh kept five wideouts on its initial 53-man roster and still lacks a clear No. 2 option behind DK Metcalf for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
• Cooks is a six-time 1,000-yard receiver whose production has dipped, posting 26 catches for 259 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games last season.
• The Saints have a younger receiving core of Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Devaughn Vele, and Cooks returned to New Orleans this offseason on a two-year, $13 million contract.
• Local reporting recalls Pittsburgh’s offseason inquiry on Olave being rebuffed, with other names like Jakobi Meyers, Gabe Davis, Romeo Doubs and Jauan Jennings also linked as possibilities.
