Saints waived WR Brandin Cooks.

For real this time. Cooks was reportedly waived earlier in the week, but contract issues stalled the move. The Saints were cutting the veteran wideout to allow him to sign with a contender of his choosing. They restructured his contract before cutting him to make it more unappealing, ensuring no one would claim him on waivers. That is explicitly prohibited by the NFL. This issue has since been resolved and Cooks is now able to be claimed by teams.
