Twitter: Browns interested in WR Cooper

[CWR]

Agree. Business 101 is you don’t give an asset away except in extreme circumstances. Their cap situation isn’t extreme - they restructure to buy time to get a reasonable return. Of course, Coop has to be willing to restructure and that might be the issue.

Nobody refuses a restructure. It can be done.

The classic restructure is what is known as a “simple restructure”, in which the player's Base Salary (P5) is reduced down to the applicable league minimum and the difference is immediately paid to the player as a Signing Bonus, which is then prorated over the remaining years of the contract.

Swap 2nd's and a 3rd.

So the solid market is now down to a 4th. And Jerry will take a 3rd. Better than nothing.

Who knows how true the comp is as deadlines approach sometimes teams get antsy for better or worse. Cowboys should also inquire about the Brown's adding an offensive linemen into the trade.

A third if he insists on no salary reduction. Higher if he will work with the new team

If I'm going to Cleveland I want every dime.

if i was amari i’d rather retire than go to flea land. I’d need those young juicy dallas airheads

Wide receivers don’t get traded for much though. Arizona got Hopkins not for much.

Because hopkins is overrated.

There are no game changing WRs under 6’4 or can’t run below a 4.3

 

[Denim Chicken]

This Front Office botched this Amari situation if a restructure is in play right now. Restructure should have been this first thing they tried.

It's not. This is the Jones boys trying to drive up value. Pathetic and transparent.

 

[NumOneQB]

Gotta be atleast a 2nd or 3rd plus. Come on Jerry, try to actually win a trade for once.

Jerry’s gonna break down like his 1990 vasectomy.

I knew that’s how they freed up cap space without changing the length of the contract, but thought the player still had to agree and sign since it’s different terms. Thanks for the edification.

Dallas should stand firm for a 3rd, rather than a 4th. Leave it to our FO to suggest a 4th. They make it too easy to take advantage.

If Hopkins is overrated what do you think Coop is?

uhh no lol. overrated???? he was traded for so little because bill o’brien is a moron and was fired nearly immediately after

 

[cristglo]

I would take a swap of seconds and a 4th for Cooper.
We all know Jerry sold his soul for the walker trade we as fans are paying the reaper for it. Jerry is going to be 80 and Im afraid to say I dont see him ever seeing Dallas hold up the Lombardi again in his lifetime.
Meanwhile, we fans will watch other teams make blockbuster trades to better their teams while we pick up the leftovers.
The Jones is delusional that they are Real Gm's.

 

[BobbyFlame469]

uhh no lol. overrated???? he was traded for so little because bill o’brien is a moron and was fired nearly immediately after

now he’s always injured and cardinals will win nothing.


Good thing they didn’t give up a first!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Sounds like it’s close

 

[BobbyFlame469]

If Hopkins is overrated what do you think Coop is?

I feel like Cooper could be Marvin Harrison lite with a vet QB like Wilson Rodgers or special young wb like Deshaun Watson under center.

 

[Daillest88]

Sounds like it’s close

Bro lol I’m hearing a darn 5th round pick lmao

 

[Verdict]

I am seeing reports that this is a done deal.
