Coop a loop
Easier to replace a WR than it is to replace a top 20 CB.
Anyone saying they want Cooper doesn't understand football and would run a team worse than Jerry freakin' Jones.
If we could sign only one, which should it be? A week ago, I would have said Cooper, hands down. Now, I am not so sure. I have seen a few interviews with Cooper lately and what I see is a guy who says he wants to stay, but he lacks passion.
I think the lack of passion shows up on the field. He seems to play with little or no emotion. He is a good receiver, but is he a fit in Dallas? He plays with his head down, if you know what I mean. He is not Michael Irvin, TO, or Dez in this regard. He makes plays but it never looks like he is giving 100%. He disappeared down the stretch when they really needed him.
No doubt, the Joneses are follow the ball. They got to follow it down the field a lot against their D over the last few seasons.Cooper is a lock to be re-signed.
Jones was a top 10 corner in 2018 and top 20 in 2019.
It CAN be easily replaced lol WR is a revolving door in this league and teams consistently win a lot of games and Super Bowls without a top 10-15 WR.
Quick, give me a run down of teams that had no good secondary players when they won a Super Bowl the past 10 seasons. Anyone wanting Cooper over Jones don’t understand football. There is nothing else to discuss here.
Let Cooper walk, sign Jones, get a DT and safety. That’s how you win Super Bowls. Not with inconsistent “elite WRs”
Which is easier to find? WR or CB? Posters complain about Jones not getting picks but he shows up in every game.
I do not doubt Cooper's heart because of his laidback demeanor. But 18M for a WR that doesn't show up in every game, and this has been a trait since he entered the NFL, is a luxury item, not a necessity.
First they gave up. Got a hell of a lot more out of him in half a season than Charleton's entire time as a Cowboy.
Maybe I am out to lunch, but the D needs help and letting the most consistent player on it walk doesn't look like a good start to me.
I never thought of it like that but this is tough to answer. Jones is solid but doesnt get the ints. Cooper worries me because of his track record. He was injured this year but that hang dog look and being counted on as the guy to make big plays. I just dont know if bvn he worth paying that kind of money. He had one good season with the Raiders but Crabtree was more reliable.If we could sign only one, which should it be? A week ago, I would have said Cooper, hands down. Now, I am not so sure.

Looking at the averages of other WRs in the league, I would be shocked if Cooper does not want at least $16 million per year. In 2018, Mike Evans of the Bucs signed for 5 years and $82 million, or $16.5 million/year. Julio Jones and Michael Thomas average $22 million and $19.5 million respectively. I think it will take at least what Evans got if not more to sign Cooper.
CBs average a little less. The top CBs salary is about $15 million/year. I am guessing Jones will be offered at least 5 yrs, $75 million. The question is, would you rather have Cooper for $17-18 million a year or Jones for $15 miillion - or neither?
Shows up every game doing what exactly?
And what's even more loveable is how fans think WR's win titles, when it's so obviously the trenches.I love how fans think we can just let Cooper go and immediately find an upgrade in the draft/FA.
But what the hell, let's go into the season with Gallup, a rookie, and a guy like Allen Hurns (LOL, remember when people thought he was going to be good?). That should be a recipe for success, plus, now teams won't have to worry about a receiver so they can stack the box against Zeke and you'll have something else to complain about.
I hate that Jerry Jones is GM, but reading these boards makes me realize it could be so much worse.
Whose Byron?!Cooper. I won't miss Byron Jones.
I agree...we need to put everything we got into building a defense better then SFByron
This board is comedy. Yall are OK with stacking all our resources on offense and filling out or defense with draft picks and mid/tier free agents
If Dak is who yall beieve he is, we dont need Coop
Unless a CB is a ballhawk, INTs are completely overrated.
