We drafted this stiff in the 4th round 5 years ago and people liked it.

He was gonna add a new dimension to the offense and stuff.

Good for him, he got himself a decent football life, and getting into coaching. Wish him luck.

Well done to him.

 

[DFWJC]

Good for him.
Earned 2.88 mil in 5 years and now time to move on the next chapter as a coach.

Nice farewell message, with the images of him in his college and NFL uniforms as the background.

Say it ain't so! I was told on here he was just like copper kupp

 

[zrinkill]

Better NFL career than most ..... Congratulations

 

[Doomsday101]

Who told you that? He's like 6-7 inches shorter than Kupp for starters. The only thing they have in common is they're both white receivers. Their games are not even remotely similar.

He DID make us forget about Lucky Whitehead for a few moments.

short career.

NFL average is 3.3 years, so 5 was pretty good.
But yeah, maybe he thought it could be more than 5 years.
He sounds ok with moving on.

I'll admit it, I drank the koolaid when we drafted him.

This. I mean Kupp is more than half a foot taller. lol

I heard one or two say he might be the next Beasley, but people are always saying stuff like that.

Cooper Kupp is the same size as Micheal Irvin was. About 6'2", 208

Officially he was in the league 5 years. He actually only played 2 seasons and 10 games in 2019 then never returned. For his career he had a total of 50 catches for 321 yards for 1 TD and as a returner he had 1 TD and that was with Dallas.

Thanks for the clarification

I think he was paid for 5 years but, as you said, played for much less.

Was mainly a return dude.

Yeah Kupp is way more like Irvin than he is Switzer. Big enough to fight for that inside position. Not a burner but fast enough that DBs can't sleep on him .. Crafty enough to beat double teams in crunch time. Fearless enough to run any route anywhere on the field. I think if I read a scouting report that compared Kupp to Mike I would not bat an eye..

By not being active for even one game the last two seasons I think Switzer will fall short of qualifying for the NFL pension.. which requires 4 active seasons if I'm not mistaken. Hope he invested his money well.
