Is it just assumed signing Amari is a foregone conclusion?

is a foregone conclusion?

Amari has played well with 2 Pro Bowls since arriving but his mysterious dropoff playing at home and especially at the end of the season in hugely important games has to be answered somehow.

Especially since resigning him to help bolster Dak's resigning seems to be assumed.

Basic math says $40 mil per yr for Dak PLUS another $18 mil / yr for Amari equals almost $60 mil / yr for the 2.. times 5 years is about..

$300 mil over 5 years for both.

Does this make financial sense to you guys?

Maybe if under the new CBA we can let players play 2-ways like I did in HS.

But I assume that will not happen.

So..somebody explain how this works out.

And Is it Amari or is it Dak that is causing Amari's backslide?

Has Dak developed an aversion to Amari as he developed with Dez?

If not, what is it?

Is it Moore's playcalling?

Is it Dak's execution?

Amari's execution?

How do we account for Amari's high number of drops?

Was it Garrett's playcalling or pre-game directions that had a negative effect.?

Is Dak's inaccurate throws being overlooked as why Amari has struggled?

Something is the reason.

So as we remix everything going to the draft and after..

should we rethink signing Amari, instead sign Byron Jones and draft a rookie WR and move our other 1000+ yd WR Michael Gallop to #1 WR instead and spend Amari's money's differently?

I am undecided about Cooper and looking to have a viable way to end his high price at a good moment before signing him.

There are several WRs in the draft to replace Amari with and Cobb as well if needed.

We are at a big cross roads with mistakes of the past and looming personel decisions for our new coaching staff to fix.

I prefer to have a grand plan to fix our problems rather than more piece meal answers which cost more each year to fix.

I also have tired of the Jones not accepting responsibility for the state of the team now. All this failure went hand in hand with the Jones keeping most of us in the dark as to real answers. With them its tweak tweak and nothing improved and they build another real estate venture.

While we pay the bills.

Not what I signed on for.

What makes sense to you guys?

:omg:

I think Dallas will try to trade him if they can tag him. Just a hunch.

Count me as on the fence with Coop as well. In a perfect world Dak's deal gets done by March 10 (roll eyes here) and the Cowboys are able to tag Cooper instead.

That way Dallas gets one more year to see if Cooper can stay healthy, pile up stats consistently and not in bunches like in 2019, and then decide if they want to pay him in 2021.

Here is a fun one for anyone to look up: Look and see how Amari Cooper has played in the final 5-6 games each year he has been in the league.

He's a ghost or inconsistent. Dude is BARELY a #1. Actually, I'm not even entirely sure he is one. Let him walk. We have other positions to worry about.

Coop's late season slides may have a lot to do with the fact he's consistently banged up every year he's been in the NFL, too, which is yet another reason to think twice about paying him the net worth of a third world country.

Amari Cooper is a fantastic talent with number one receiver qualities, but injuries and drops have plagued him since his rookie year.

Cooper was dealing with multiple injuries almost all of last season. That said, no I don't think he's worth 18 mil a year. And for the record, I don't think Dak (or any QB at all) is worth 40 mil per year either.

....Dak is a keeper. He has mental motivation to improve. Big Mike will only make him better. Cooper on the other hand, disappeared in important games and became almost non-existent Vs descent CB's. I would let him walk, he will want way--------to much money.

Currently we have $80 million dedicated to offense and $56 million for defense (less than $2 million on ST).

That's before signing anybody.

His play dropped off as the injuries piled up. Not sure what's so mysterious about that. They traded a number one for the guy, yeah I think it's a forgone conclusion. He's not going anywhere.

Coops ranked 7th heading into 2020 among NFL's best WR's. Not bad for a player who dealt with injuries that plagued his strong play.

Dallas would be unwise to let Coop walk & expecting Gallup or a draft pick to develop into a receiver of Coops caliber.

I say I don't know til things get a-movin' and a-groovin'.
Nothing that happens this off-season is going to get me up in arms though.
So take my stuff with a grain of salt.

I sort of agree.

I like him. Just not sure about him.

So far, I have not seen him step up and take charge of the other team's defense in important games.

Not against Seattle nor the Rams in 2018 and especially in 2019.

He was injuried I understand at times. And he is not superhuman, granted.

But guys like him have to sort of step out and make it happen.

He had similar issues in Oakland. Dropped passes, fading during the season, he and Carr
ended up sort of being estranged.

Certainly we cannot afford to hand him a chunk of our cap if he has problems making himself a powerful piece of the team.

Better off starting over.

A good player if the team can afford him.

Was a horrible decision to trade a first round pick for him without a contract in place. It's possible the team only gets one full season for that first rounder. More than they got from Taco though...
