Twitter: Schefter: Cowboys likely to release Cooper before the start of new league year

[WillieBeamen]

Tbf, the writing was on the wall once we drafted Ceedee.


Realists (me), wanted Amari gone after he wasnt on the field on the 4th down play in Philly w the game on the line and his disappearing acts on the road

Do you trust those guys to be as productive without a true #1 like Cooper on the field taking the heat off them?

Do you trust Gallup to even be on the field and reliable?

I don't trust that until they show it.

I think it'll be better than pre-Coop, 2017. I mean, that was a train wreck.
How much better (and how much worse than last year) is the question

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Can you explain why we can't pay these guys and are now forced to field a worst team than last year?

Say it so everyone can hear it, friend.

 

[Miller]

Ceedee
Gallup
Wilson


That should be good enough for most QBs, but…

And I think 1st or 2nd rd WR with this draft. Deep with speed

I must say I get why people don’t want to lose Cooper but 20 mil for 60 catches is dumb. Either make him a true #1 and make the O feed him or you cut him. There aren’t many choices

 

[sunalsorises]

Lamb has not shown himself to be a WR1 at this point. I just don’t get creating a need like this.

Lamb might be the one to trade. If they got a good first round pick for him they could draft his replacement. That would reset the clock on the rookie deal. I also think Lamb might be at his ceiling in terms of a receiver so there is at least a shot that the drafted receiver would develop better.

Gallup isn't 100% correct? ACL lol

If this is true the Cowboys are smarter then I thought. I don’t want to have blow the 24th pick on a wide receiver.

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

Dak bashing in 3...2....1.....

Not even going tur 1 receiver who can consistently beat man coverage.I know the savings of $, but to get nothing in return shows Dallas FO ineptitude.I almost feel sorry for Dak.Ceedee had best step up.Time to fix Oline and run the ball effectively.

We shall see.

I saw us not win a single game without Cooper, but basically go undefeated and not miss a beat with Gallup not playing.

Ticket sales will hopefully be low this year for Jerry. There’s no way he can sunshine pump into believing this team is better without Amari.

We haven’t even seen how big a hit the defense will take.

 

[DFWJC]

I think the offense is the problem…not Coop. Sure, the contract is a few mil too much, but we are pot committed at this point and choosing to fold anyway. Now it will be more resources into the WR position just to downgrade it. This franchise continues to tread water of mediocrity instead of actually trying to win

Larence, Gregory, Copper, and others are all in play.
Can't keep all of them. That's for sure.

Which ones do you choose and what price?
Also, what will be available on the market or in the draft to plug these holes?

 

[Vandyr]

According to the "experts" on this site....you are supposed to pay 22 mill for 60 catches and unremarkable play.

Put him in front of a decent QB and watch the fireworks.

 

[MajesticRey]

Why can’t we extend Cooper and push his biggest cap hits towards the end of his contract?

Cooper is still young and can definitely produce, so there’s no much risk in an extension.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Adam has been wrong before. I'm hoping this is one of those times.

Alot of smoke coming out from other sources though. There is probably a fire

The cowboys could easily restructure a few contracts and be well under the cap. That’s even after throwing money down the drain on Zeke, and a linebacker like Jaylon who isn’t even on the team.

the issue is, Jerry and his son, Stephen are incompetent.

that’s the issue.

Of course, it should.

Not sure what Cowboy fans want.

Have to make cuts somewhere. I wish we could keep Coop (huge luxury having all those WRs) but his contract was by far the easiest to part with and WR is always the deepest position in the draft if they wanted to add one in the 3rd round or so.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Why the uprorar? Amari has yet to mold into the player the Raiders and us expected him to be. WR's are a dime a dozen in free agency or the draft, so if we can sign Gallup to a good contract why not? Dude cost us games refusing to get vaxxed...I won't miss him

Cut Lawrence after June 1 and keep the rest. Restructure contracts and actuality try to win playoff games…crazy concept I know

Don't you want to wait and see who is actually on the team in 6 months?

 

[bewp7]

cowboys will be a disaster until 24 or 25 when they can get out from dak contract lol
