My problem with Jerry is he's never thinking ahead.
He trades a 1st rd pick for Cooper and instead of extending him immediately, he waits and let's him go to Wash and get a huge offer and then is forced to match the most desperate team with plenty of cap space.
He screwed the pooch on Dak, DLaw and Zeke too. The players aren't your friends. They use every bit of leverage they can. Sometimes you need to make a fair offer and trade them if they don't like it.
This year hey should have decided which of the long list of F.A.'s they wanted back and tried to extend them then before the season ended.
Kearse, Hooker, Ced Wilson, Turner etc.
