The New Orleans Saints are considering a trade of Brandin Cooks with the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles involved in talks.

The Titans are considered the more likely suitor, per one source, but two other sources have conflicting opinions on which team is considered the favorite to acquire Cooks if the Saints trade him. 

The Titans own the 18th overall pick and could deal that selection straight up for Cooks.

Sean Payton has shot down reports that Cooks could emerge in trade talks -- calling them "garbage" late last season and recently telling SiriusXM Radio that he "absolutely" anticipates Cooks will remain a Saint this year.

Cooks expressed frustration about his role last season. Cooks felt he was being used too often as a clear-out receiver. 

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to re-sign Matt Cassel.

Cassel saw action in four games last season, completing 30-of-51 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of picks.

Cassel finished 2016 as the Titans' starting quarterback following Marcus Mariota's broken fibula.

Cassel is now 34.

The Tennessee Titans traded the first overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams last spring in Jon Robinson's first year on the job as general manager.

That trade leaves them with two first-round picks this year -- No. 5 and No. 18.

"It's got to be a two-way street, we've got to have somebody that wants to move up to that spot, but like I said last year, we're open for business," Robinson said.
