Washington offered more money, but they refused to change the name of the franchise to the "Washington Amaris"

Cooper is clearly a good guy who is very bright, its good to see he chose the Dallas lockerroom over a few more bucks.

"I can be treated like a champion without ever having won anything. I can rack up all kinds of stats against a weak division and my overall numbers will look ok. The owner of the team still tells me how great I am even when I decide to take road games off. Why be anywhere else where I may actually have to be accountable for my performance?"

I guess everything can be denigrated through a certain lens.


Edit: Not dogging you. I get where you're coming from, but this team's fans can make anything look bad, or ugly.

Yeah, but what lens is this one?

I will dog him.
Always someone with the negativity that is why the Cowboys are also the most hated team, many of their own fans hate them.
When I first seen the title, I knew it would not even get to 5 posts before someone started on with it.

Bingo!
I'm expecting Pollard to get 15 milly at least when his contract comes up.
And Dak will remain unsigned long-term.

Cooper has been working with the offense for a while now, in a players only environment. He said in particular that he has been working with Lamb a lot on his routes. He said that Lamb already does it pretty well and that Cooper is just helping him fine tune.

that is really nice to hear. A lot of WR1’s might not help the hotshot WR draftee. Cooper May be the best route runner in the league, so no one better to help CeeDee.

Here is the quote from the article:

"Me, Dak, some of the other receivers, tight ends, running backs – we've all been working together pretty consistently for months now," he said. "Working on our route running, working on the offense and everything like that. We've been getting a lot of work in, getting that timing right as if we were going to minicamp or OTAs."


Lamb has also been part of that, according to Cooper. Prior to the Cowboys reporting for the start of training camp, Cooper said he worked with the rookie and came away impressed with his skill set.

"I think he's a quick learner. He already has a good foundation, he's fundamentally sound as a route runner," Cooper said. "It's very small, nitpicky things that I help him with, that I may see – him being a rookie."

Come on Amari. We ALL know The Washington Team is the ONLY team who offered you more coin. We ALL know you chose Dallas over them because they have a better chance on winning a SB.

It doesn't take an Egals fan not to figure that one out. :laugh:
