Would Cowboys trade Amari Cooper?

I don't think we could get as much for Gallup. I mean, maybe a 1st, but I think because he hasn't played as a No.1 except when Cooper was out it would be more like a 2nd.

From PFT, I thought this might make for some good conversation and debate:

The Cowboys seem to be in fire sale mode, particularly in the midst of a “this is fine” fire on the defensive side of the ball. Here’s the question: Would they trade offensive players, too?

There’s one name to wonder about as the trade deadline approaches, in our view. Receiver Amari Cooper.

Yes, the Cowboys gave up a first-round pick to get him two years ago. Yes, they gave him a new contract after the 2019 season ended.

But consider these facts. First, CeeDee Lamb fell into their laps after Cooper re-signed. Second, Michael Gallup is signed through 2021 to a bargain-basement rookie deal. Third, Cedrick Wilson is pretty damn good. Fourth, with Dak gone for the rest of the season, Cooper becomes a luxury the Cowboys don’t need.

Even though Cooper signed a five-year, $100 million contract, it’s really a two-year, $40 million deal. If someone would offer them a first-rounder for Cooper right now (last year, Mohamed Sanu brought in a second-round pick at the deadline), the Cowboys would be crazy to say no.

“But what about the cap consequences?” you may ask. Trading Cooper would trigger an $8 million charge in 2021, but it would be offset by avoiding $20 million in cash and cap space — creating a $12 million net-cap gain for the Cowboys in 2021.

So any contending team out there looking for a high-end receiver (like the Packers), the window could be open to snatch Cooper from the Cowboys.

I believe you entertain trade options for Lawrence, Jaylon, Tyron, and Zeke. If high enough for Tyron and Zeke you make the deal. I’d give away Lawrence for a mid-round pick to get rid of the contract and Jaylon a 3rd day pick to get rid of that contract.

yeah again I think amari would fetch more, just not how much more. And then given the wild state of wr contracts I’m not sure what his deal will be next year. I do know that amari brings more to the table and his contract is very manageable after next year. So it’s just more of a whole picture kind of deal for me. Lamb could really render it all moot tho

for what? would anyone trade a 2nd round pick for a WR with 20M price tag?

Trade Gallup to the Eagles for a first... They need the player. There is no harm in doing this. I know the majority will disagree with me but do the smart thing.
We will not win a SB with keeping Gallup. The Eagles are desperate enough and stupid enough to believe they will something. Take advantage of a team like that.
