Julio expects to sign for $22M, this is why Coop wanted to wait

[Hawkeye0202]

Not that he expects to get anywhere close to Jones money but market value for the position will put him in win win EVEN he's hit with franchise tag.

Falcons receiver Julio Jones arguably is the best in the league at what he does. He’s about to be paid better than any other person who ever has played the position.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL reports that Jones’ new contract extension will pay out roughly $66 million over three years. That’s $22 million in new money.

Insane.

 

[Ron12]

Can anyone say overpaid I don't think any WR is worth that much !!

 

[lwehlers]

I think that cooper is a great receiver but I do not think he is as good as jones is. jones catches everything. cooper is limited in some of his routes. I do think that cooper will get 18-20 million a season. I do not see him getting more then jones will be making.

Coop will never see that kind of money in his first new contract & he is smart enough to know it!

I read the avg. drops down to 17.4 when the two years already on the deal are counted.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Coops salary now is what $13M? 2019 tag for WR is $16M....I'm guessing 2020 could be in the $18M range. Willing to bet Stephens current offer on the table is $16M or less. So he can sit back and next year the tag around $18M will be his floor.

Cooper isn’t Julio but this will be where we start as Stephen says

Ya think? lol

Jones is a top 3 WR. Cooper is still proving he's a consistent #1.

I agree to a point Jones is a lot better than Coop but you are over thinking this 18 million maybe 20 million never !

I agree with you & its not Coop who just wanted to wait Cowboys feel Dak is more important now !

no way cooper plays on a franchise tag he will hold out the same way Elliott did this year. coopers agent saw that it worked for Elliott and he will probably advise cooper to do the same.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It's not about him getting or being worthy of Jones money. It's Jones money pushing the market value of the position northward allowing him to coattail a little extra $$$$$.

There was a guy yesterday arguing up and down that Cooper is first team all pro. Not after this season, right now. That’s well north of 20m$

the way salaries are going up do not be surprised when cooper gets at least 18 million a year.

He'll play......no doubt in my mind. He and Zeke contract situations are apples and oranges. Coop has zero leverage compared to Zeke.

 

[sbark]

Without dak throwing "at" him, coops stats drop toward league ave
Ok, I'm trolling some lol

if he has the same season he had last year I see his agent telling to wait for a multi year deal.

 

[reddyuta]

Cooper is not even in the zip code of Julio,that guy produces game in and game out even if he injured.I think Cooper will agree for 18 million a year and 48 million guaranteed.

 

[America's Cowboy]

This is what D-Law, Zeke, Dak and Amari Cooper's plot has been all about: waiting, delaying, holding out and taking jabs in order to get paid highest in the league at their respective positions. The employees are controlling the company, and Jerry & Stephen have caved in to them.

Who is laughing or excited now?
