He just wants nice shoes, man I should work in the front office...

 

[stiletto]

He'll be ok, he's making about $840k a game this year.

If Cooper wants too much money and if Gallup shows he can be the #1 WR then I could see Dallas attempting to trade Cooper. Not during the season obviously but I could them use the tag if necessary and then do a trade.

Cooper is under contract and making 14 million this year, what is there for him to worry about, again Cooper and the Cowboys will come to an agreement at some point so stop worry about his contract...

 

[Parcells4Life]

They didn’t trade a #1 to trade him again later. His presence has taken Daks game to a whole new level. Don’t mess with what’s working.

If I'm Cooper and you do that I'll do a Clowney - refuse to sign the tender and not report.

 

[Rayman70]

Hes a true pro on and off the field. I respect what hes doing.

Yep but that will support the team trading him if that is what they wanted to do. Again this just me thinking it could be a possibility.

Getting seriously injured

 

[blueblood70]

he can wait until his face is Cowboys Blue, he wont be getting the top 2 wr pay..its insane he hasn't taken 17 and keeps being patient..Im glad Gallup is developing and we have some young guys in the mix because Coop might price himself off this cowboys team..Gallup could be our furture #1 and maybe Ced or devin keep developing so 2020 we may have to go with them..

 

[cern]

he's got nothing to lose by waiting. if he continues to play at last years level, he'll get the money from someone. nice to see a top wr who isn't a diva.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Should have been signed when Jerry traded a #1 pick for him.

 

[cern]

Getting seriously injured

true. but I suspect he has that covered by insurance. seems a bright young man.

+1

The team gave he and his agent all negotiating leverage when they didn't. And now they know they're going to have to pay big to keep him.

Wait until Tunsil does the same to the Texans when they gave up two #1 picks for him! He knows he has them over a barrel.

 

[JoeKing]

Amari is a cerebral guy. He plays chess in the locker room when the players are chilling. What WR does that? He's smart to not want to rush these negotiations. He's making nice money this season and if there is no deal for next season he expects to be slapped with the franchise tag and the money just gets better. He has "job security".

 

[CATCH17]

Cooper has us.. They won’t let him go so expect a big pay day for him.

Yep. He and Dak. They are about to have historic years and are gonna cash out. I see it coming.

 

[Rayman70]

Coop is calm cool and collected. Never panics and just does his job each week. YES he drops a pass here and there,but hey...hes still a top 5 wr talent in the NFL. Glad we have him.
