Twitter: Rapoport on NFLN: Cowboys trying to trade Cooper

[Jake]

The best way to trade a player is to let everyone know he will get released if no deal can be made.

I'd be surprised if anyone trades for that contract.

Agreed. He basically has a 3 year $60 million contract left. It would have to be a team like the Rams that don't value draft picks and could give a rip about the salary cap. But even they would look at contract amount versus production.

No one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not even the Jags as he is not worth that amount of cap cash!!!!!

 

[quickccc]

Said just now at the Combine. A few teams are interested and if not, he'll get released.

As an aside, the Bills have given Cole Beasley permission to seek a trade

Don't be surprised if Beasley is out released per cap casualty...

Looks like he just walked into a smelly bathroom!!

I mean, take anything they offer at this point. It's better than nothing at all.

A 6th round pick and let's draft a kicker

 

[visionary]

No other team would have even thought of this let alone tried to do it in this idiotic manner

we are clearly at a huge advantage

HUGE

Generally true, but a player like Cooper will have his choice of teams and QBs searching for a top WR.
Teams like the Commanders have no chance in free agency and are likely to make trade offers.

I know of no such team.

I dont think releasing him should be an option. You could trade him as long as you are willing to keep him if you dont get an acceptable offer. At best you will get a day 3 pick just so a team doesnt get outbid in the open market

Classic Cowboys.

 

[Mobinvans]

What kind of idiot announces they will release them if they don’t trade them!!!!

 

[Hennessy_King]

We spent a 1st round pick and didnt even get 4 full seasons. My goodness this front office sucks

I think this shows why the Cowboys should never ever follow the Rams strategy.

 

[Jake]

Easily replaced, especially with our "experienced" front office.

 

[Risen Star]

I was hoping to start a trade for Beasley movement with this thread. You guys are focusing on the wrong thing.

 

[75boyz]

Distinct advantages to the unique structure at work, man.

Well played.
I laughed aloud.

Is part of this that cooper is the least “sexy” great wr in the league? This team loves stars

He's not that unattractive. I mean just because Rich Dalrymple doesn't take pictures of him doesn't mean he's not attractive

I don’t think that’s really an issue
If a team wants him bad enough to take on his contract then trading for him gets you the player you want
A bigger issue is who wants that contract
I think that contract will scare off most teams

I just heard a stat that Dak's QBR with Cooper on the field was 65, which would have 4th in the league (Brady, herbet <dak>, Stafford, Mahomes)

Without Cooper on the field, 35, good for around 25-27 area (Big Ben, Davis Mills, Mayfield, area.

Doesn't that seem like pre-Amari cowboys offense? But hey we got Zeke for whatever stupid money, lets get rid of the guy that unlocked this thing..... I guess Zeke. has way more Jersey sales.
