News: Jerry Jones on Amari Cooper

[Ranching]

Why exaggerate? Pollard doesn’t need 25. 15 and 5 is good. Zeke can have the rest.

I prefer 12 and 6...but, close enough.

Jerry...ok, lets say you needed the money to get better in other areas....so what did you do with the 20M+ cap space we had left? we could have kept Cooper and restructured and still had the similar cap space.

Jerry is desending into the abyss of mental inacuity very rapidly

Cooper isn't here because he ruffled feathers and was on a high cost contract. Jones didn't feel they were getting their money's worth and didn't like how he conducted himself last year.

I don't have an issue with jettisoning Cooper, but we had to get more in return.

I also seen where Cooper did not want to restructure here. I am not sure why he did in Cleveland. But could been something in the contract..

do you not see how much better the offense is when pollard is the back? It’s night and day.

 

[Cumart21]

I've not been a Jerry basher but I'm so tired of him running his mouth.

 

[Corso]

I like Cooper and hated to see him go. Jerry is really just hoarding cap space to extend Zeke!!

Had we kept cooper we would have had to pay him 22 million another 3 years.

 

[DanTanna]

Bill O'Brien got fired and thrown on the trash heap for doing similar things that Jerry has done for years.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Another prime example of why we need a professional GM.
Run the player down in the media, destroy your trade leverage, then take peanuts.
This team with never win a SB with a Jones as the GM.

All the while the egirls are loading up for bear.

keeper cooper would have meant another 3 years paying him 22 million.

the screw up was not using the savings to improve the team this year.

 

[jazzcat22]

It’s TOTAL BS! Jerry was pissed at Amari and that’s why he ditched him for peanuts. Jerry is an idiot and his ego drives his football decisions (see Jimmy Johnson). Jerry is realizing how dumb the move is looking now and trying to cover. Funny thing is, we didn’t even use the money to sign anyone. Wagner? Nope, Von Miller, nope. OL…nope.
Oh but we will have that money to sign Lamb to a big contract NEXT year? Lamb looks bad so far, I’d let him walk if he asks for more than 12m. But way to sacrifice this year.

BS…Jerry has made some mistakes and bad decisions. His ego, nor Stephen is that big or dumb to allow it getting in the way of team management because they are pissed.

For another failure that is.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Jerry talks just to hear himself talk, he reminds me of an old Vietnam vet working at the grocery store when I was a kid. You ask him a question and he would ramble on for 5 minutes without answering your question

 

[jazzcat22]

Had we kept cooper we would have had to pay him 22 million another 3 years.

Yes, I don’t know why some fail to see that.
We all know for the past 2 years it was goin to be Gallup or Cooper. I still think this was the correct move.
And I liked Cooper. But sometimes something has to give.

Next year it will be a decision on Zeke. But that is next year. I will let this season play out first.
Who know in 2 years it may be the same for Dak unless he brings us a SB.

Coo

Coop is great but you simply can’t keep him at 22 million. This was a 3 year decision. Had we kept cooper you have to pay him for 3 more years. It’s about team structure management.

cooper is not a high end #1. And with lamb you have to move on. Gallup coming back soon.

And Noah He does a lot of dirty work. And you need those type of players. Case and point last game. Long season , team needs to gel and figure out who exactly they are. Doesn’t always happen in the first two games. Let the Eagles peak to early. Rather be hot at the end

So true. I know a few people like that now.

 

[Ranched]

My gosh. He's GONE. Enough already!

Some fans think of this season only.

 

[Cmac]

How can Jerry keep saying we used Coopers salary to upgrade the pass rush and OL.

I'm not sure he is ready to accept Randy Gregory walked away.

Who did we sign that upgraded the OL? Peters? no. that was after Tyron was injured.

What is this man talking about

JJ is a guy you continually check to see if you still have your wallet in your possession, when he talks.

 

[CowboyRoy]

And Noah He does a lot of dirty work. And you need those type of players. Case and point last game. Long season , team needs to hell and figure out who exactly they are. Doesn’t always happen in the first two games. Let the Eagles peak to early. Rather be hot at the end

Noah and rush obviously have a connection. Takes time.
