Supposedly the Jones' were waiting for Julio and the Falcons to set the market. We don't have that excuse anymore. Julio just signed a 3 year extension today. I do not know the particulars,but now it seems we can go ahead and complete the Cooper deal pronto. Dak as well...he should be getting done this week.
That’s nonsense. You can’t just make a clause forcing someone to re-sign. Terms have to be agreed on, and if they were able to do that they would have just signed an extension then.We have Gravely overestimated the Coop man! He is no Julio and not even close to that amount of cap dollars.
Our GM extraordinaire traded for him and one of the clauses should have been he signs his new deal with the Cowboys but once again Jerry wasn't thinking past his latest bottle of JB.
Well get ready to OVERPAY for Coop as that no 1 pick we gave up needs its due.
Dak can wait he ain't going anywhere soon....
No prob!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.
Julio Jones is expected to push the receiver market to $22 million per year

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.
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.
Julio doesn’t set Coopers market value. Julio has had over 1400 yards per year the last 5 straight years, and Cooper has been under 1,000 the last 2 years, and his career high is 1,153.
At best Julio’s signing gives Cooper a stronger argument for $17-18 million per year, but he won’t be at Julio’s level.
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.

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?
Cooper is probably around the #5-#10 best WR among active receivers, but he's as consistent as he was in oakland. Some really special games, some good games, some below average games.Ya think? lol
Jones is a top 3 WR. Cooper is still proving he's a consistent #1.
That puts Coop at 18-20 range.......dam
Zeke at 15
Dak at 32-34
Coop at 18-20
We better be a top 5 offense for this much coin!
