Patriots | Brandin Cooks praised by head coach

New England Patriots WR Brandin Cooks has already impressed head coach Bill Belichick. ‘Brandin’s worked hard. Definitely, he has some skill. A transition for him [from the Saints]; he’s working hard to make it,’ Belichick said. Belichick said Cooks is able to do multiple things for the Patriots and they’ll have to see how those tools translate at training camp.

Titans | Eric Decker contract details

Tennessee Titans WR Eric Decker’s one-year deal is worth up to $5.35 million, according to a source. The deal comes with a $2.5 million signing bonus, a $1.35 million salary and up to $1.50 million in incentives.

Footballguys View: Decker could be a very interesting addition to this offense and might be a good fit as the No. 2 there. Two things will impact that. First is the health of Marcus Mariota, which looks good. Second will be how quickly rookie Corey Davis starts drawing coverage. When he’s the focal point of a secondary, Decker can struggle. When he has a legit number one across from him, though, he can be very productive. Right now, Decker is trending with an overall ADP of 102 and is the 39th receiver off the board. We suspect that will get more expensive as summer goes by and the market adjusts to his new situation.
