The talk is Cooper won't be back

[The Realist]

I hope Coop has 110 catches and 8+ TD’s somewhere else next year. Jerry, Stephen and Moore deserve cuz they are clueless.

How much time will Gallup miss recovering from his injury next year?

He'll be back in time for the Super Bowl.

Come at me, bro.

Add him to the long list of wasted talent in Dallas.

 

[DuncanIso]

Can't link it because of the rules here but Michael Gehlken is reporting from several sources that it would be considered an upset if Cooper returns this season.

his numbers are way down.

No pro bowl since 19.

They wont pay $20 mill for that.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I'm on the flip side. Trading so much for him was a bad decision. Keeping him doesn't make that decision any better, but that does seem to be how Jerry thinks.

We got 3 1,000 yard seasons out of him for a late 1st rounder. I wouldn't call that a bad decision. Trading for Cooper is one of the few agressive moves they made that have worked out

 

[panchucko]

Let me get this straight, we traded a #1 for Cooper and then signed him to $100M contract of which he only played 2 seasons. Tell me that's not a bad trade, is like cutting a 1st round pick after 3.5 years.

can i get a taco

Another WR dies in Dak Friendly Dallas........
Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lamb is next

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Lamb is next

100% Guaranteed!!!!!!
I can hear the Dak zombies already..........he's dropping too many balls get rid of him!

Conceivably, he could be ready at the start of the season.

 

[gimmesix]

This Coop stuff makes no sense to me. So are they cutting him strictly because of money?

Not strictly. It starts with money vs. production. His production doesn't warrant his pay. Numberwise, Lamb was our No. 1 receiver last year.

Second, the salary cap savings can be used to sign Gallup as the No. 2 and Wilson as the No. 3. So essentially it's one receiver for $20 million vs. two for $20 million (counting Coop's dead cap hit).

He's not a number 1 now, and unfortunately he's going to be put into that situation. If the drops were bad before, I can't see them getting significantly better with the added pressure. That said, Coops early years in Oakland were marred with the same drop pass complaint, so maybe he can turn it around this year.

 

[J_Allen]

Good, hit the road.

 

[Motorola]

We better get a pick from him. If we release him outright, that's a damn shame

If the other 31 teams know what the deal is - they are just going to wait until the FO cuts ties.

He can't get open . . . He disappears in the big games . . . he is overrated

 

[blueblood70]

Yet Lamb had over 1,000 yards receiving. a career high, Dalton Schultz 78 rec, 808 yards a career high, Cedric Wilson 45 rec 602 a career high. I hate to see Cooper likely not be here but cap situation and the fact Cowboys can save big money off his contract will be the reason behind it.

facts papp act like its all on Dak umm ac doesnt go full speed every game OFT INJURED AND EASILY Disappears IN SOME GAMES.. i lie coop but hes overpaid and if unwilling to take rtrue pay cut ill say goodbye Lamb easily makes up for his stats..Lamb is the type that needs to be a primary on most plays and expect the ball , he still can be true 1 if schemed correctly.

Come at me, bro.

Him and his one route.

Was on course to be a mid first rounder before we traded for him, and it's the cost of the pick *plus* how much more we spent on him than we would have on the pick. We spent a 1st to get the last year of his contract plus the option year.

He turned out as well as we could have hoped, but that just shows what a bad deal it was. It certainly didn't have to work out as well as it did. See the Roy Williams trade for details.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I like Coop but his talents are wasted here. The passing game in Dallas has a low ceiling, they need to invest in defense and OL.

Cooper should be on the team for another 4-5 years. He is only 27. In my eyes, this was a great trade. The issue, as always, is that our FO overpaid and thus he became too expensive for us. If Coop was in the 15-16m a year range (Kupp, Godwin, Evans), he would still be on the team. They overpaid and thus he became too expensive.
