I just think he’s a true slot player. And Dak needs those easy underneath throws. Wilson is a nice fit in the slot.
While Gallup adds that extremely valuable high point ability, I think Wilson is the better overall WR. His early injury issues hindered his development and Gallup took over as the healthy player. Tables may be turning, hey?

so lamb coop and Wilson look good to me,

get 3rd comp pick for Gallup etc

I know gallups slightly better but in cap league you have to make decisions and i like ced, how much wil he cost is the key to this... will he be the next Robinson, harper, and Austin to name few who leave good situation and don't do much after

It’s my guess the team will target Wilson as he’s likely to get less annual than Gallup.

That said, I think Gallup’s injury may actually work to keep him with Dallas. I thought he was as sure as gone to leave prior to the injury. He now may sign a short term get well/make good contract w/Dallas and try to enter into the 2023 market.

Given the time the injury occurred, Gallup is likely to start the 2022 season on IR.

Here is my question. Is the Cowboys offense better with Lamb, Wilson and Gallup or with Lamb Cooper and someone else we do not know yet?

Wilson, Brown, and Turner are all free agents which leaves just Lamb and Cooper if we do not sign one of the others. Even then we will need another 2 receivers.

I am hesitant to anoint Wilson despite the good games he has had, especially since last night he faced the Eagles practice squad players. Clearly he shows some good things. But Cooper is a nifty route runner when he wants to be. He is complaining about not getting the ball enough but it seems like he does not get open as much as a $20 million WR should.

If Cooper was not making $20 million a year this would not be a question. Keep him. But with a CAP problem in 2022 getting a $16 million CAP save would be very helpful.

I am inclined to believe that the Cowboys can learn to live without Cooper if they can find a good TE and another WR. If trading Cooper meant signing Gallup, Wilson and Turner, I would definitely consider it. But the Cowboys also have Gregory to sign. And I know the arguments against Gregory, but if they called holding on him even half the time he is held, that would be worth signing him for another 2 or 3 years.

Will be interesting. I think Coop is gone. Trade or cut. No more guarantees and he and Jerry are chirping at each other through the media.

That will save like 14 million or more of cap space. I could see that money being allocated to both players. No way Dallas let’s them both walk if Coop is cut. I’m worried Wilson gets overpaid.
Tough one. I love Coop, but man those little nagging injuries are always taking away from what he does. I wish he'd be reasonable and play for like $12 mil/season. Taking into account that he's not always available/productive, around that amount seems reasonable.

Should sign Gallup, but will likely try to resign Wilson.

I'll take Wilson and a draft pick over Gallup that can't stay healthy.....and coming off a knee injury. WRs usually aren't the same after an ACL blown.

Wilson's issue is his build. His lack of "body armor" could result in an injury prone career. That's one of the primary reasons he wasn't an earlier round pick

Wouldn't shock me to see us restructure Cooper....he's clearly the #2 guy now. Lamb is your #1.....You resign Wilson.....because he does play special teams and draft a speedster like....Wan'Dale Robinson WR Kentucky

And your set...:dance:

I love Gallup but I’m beginning to think Wilson may be the better player.

He also seems more durable.

After ACL surgery, Gallup may not regain his hops. If he was better before(highly debatable), he may not be any more.

not worried about recovery like dak he will come back without much downside ACLs are easy to comeback from, i had mine replaced in 2018 and still at going on 52 wakeboard, snowboarding, surfing, and other things,,its not been an issue at all,.

the issue is his recovery time and once hes back he will have to ramp up so no ones paying premium to wait on that,

this is about value and Ced might be the better value with very little drop off. There are some, Gallups better IMO but not by much,

Wilson is better, but not by much.

You're not trying to play football at an NFL level. Completely different scenario than executing hobbies.

Gallup just tore an ACL, and the sharks smell blood in the water. Unbelievable, except here.

disagree Gallups better but its close. the injury and injuries this year are the evening factor then mioney.it why ill take comp pick for Gallup and sign CW for less.win win

why do i think that, because gallup draws the tougher Corners and more doubles.

Not sharks realist they see AV under big deal already , still have lamb , Gallup gets hurt and its not much of difference talent wise between the two, why not take CW and get comp pick for gallup when he signed elsewhere? that business sense ..take emotions and loyalty out of it, theres a cap.
