great receivers don’t get traded. TO is one of the few but that had nothing to do with ability and all because he was a locker room cancer. Again, Amari is an above average wide receiver but I could easily name 10 receivers i would take over him.

Was one of the dumbest moves we have made lately imo. Resigning Gallup was dumb and bringing in Cooks would be unnecessaryif we kept Cooper. I believe he also reworked his contract with the browns if I remember correctly.

You could tell by his body language the last half of the year he was pretty much done with Dak and this organization though. He was never focused or schemed around. Many breakdowns from Warner and others showed he was running WIDE open numerous times and he wasn't even looked at. Most teams usually scheme and force the ball to WR1 to have them make plays. Lamb, Coop, and Ferg would have been crazy to watch

Cooks would still be necessary this offense always needed speed.

Tyreek Hill got traded. Davante Adams got traded. Great receivers do get traded. So do very good ones like Cooper. Quite frankly getting rid of Cooper was a bad decision. I don’t think the money he was getting was prohibitive to putting together a strong team. What did they actually end up doing with the money they saved?

This is a fair assessment. I agree he’s a good player but money and I’m sure injury history played a big part. I’m not saying that we couldn’t use him right now but there are some overreactions due to him having a career game today.

Meh, Amari disappeared on the road and wasn't worth the near 20 mil a year. It wasn't a bad decision to invest in ceedee over him, as ceedee has become the number one.

Bigger issue was hoping gallop would return to form post injury. Cooks has still got some potential

Looking at how Dak has performed on the road this season, could you maybe surmise that it was Dak not Amari who was the problem on the road?
