Has Amari Cooper played his last game under the Dallas Cowboys’ star?

The guy is clearly an intelligent player, and even more crazy to think it is coming from the WR position, which hasn't always been the brightest areas. I really hope the Cowboys resign him and then we can focus on TE/DT/Secondary.

The NFC East has 3 venues in the elements. Hell, the North only has 2. Is he a weather wussy? Is that why he's not a road warrior?

I would prefer a FA talking about coaching, the players, the team or even the money rather than the environment and weather. Cole Beasley's having a good laugh at that.

If you make $50,000 per year doing what you like where you like, would you jump at a chance to make $55,000 in a place you don't like with a company you know little about? Cooper already has enough money to live well. I doubt he is going to jump at $20M to go to the Bengals when he could make $18M with the Cowboys. Now Miami might be a different story. I personally would rather make $18M in Dallas than $20M in Miami. But, that is me.

Miami still plays 3 games a year in the northeast, just as Dallas does. Home games are a wash if you consider Miami weather and we play in a dome.

he seems like a very pragmatic guy, and between the tax breaks, the warm weather, the fact he likes the team and the way the city and fans (outside of here) have embraced him I’m sure it’s not all that difficult a decision. Also based on the fact he’s said it multiple times

He did talk about the team and money. He said he really wants to stay with the Cowboys, and it's not all about the money. I think this is being overblown. He simply used the weather as an example of something that influences where a person might want to play that isn't just about the money. I'm sure he's not the only player that has ever preferred a Southern venue over an outdoor venue in the Northeast in the middle of Winter.

It amazes me how often a joke gets missed by people on this board.

I know some come here with an agenda.
Those people try to ruin the board.
Others want to be serious. As if they have all the answers.
That's fine, and at times, very informative.
The posters I enjoy are the people who keep it light-hearted.
It's like we're just having a beer and cracking jokes that have
a little truth in them once in a while.

Surely Cooper would rather go somewhere he doesn’t have to make acrobatics catches. Lol

He just hadn’t look like he wants to be here.

Pretty informative. Seems like Cooper's being honest about his thought process

https://www.al.com/sports/2020/01/h...-last-game-under-the-dallas-cowboys-star.html

“I don’t think it’s all about money,” Cooper said about his offseason options. "... If you’re a highly touted free agent, you’re going to get paid a lot of money no matter where you go. Is it worth it to go somewhere that you probably don’t want to go as far as -- you might be a guy like me who’s from South Florida who’s never played a game in the snow?"

"Is it worth a million dollars more a year or two million dollars more a year, especially if you're taking care of your money investment-wise? Is it worth that to be in an environment that you don't want to be in? Or would you like to stay somewhere in the South? It's not all about money."

He also said “I do. I mean that wholeheartedly. I love Dallas. … I feel like it’s home. I feel like I want to live there for a long time.” Combine that with the quotes above and it's pretty clear that Amari will be willing to take a team friendly deal as long as the offer is not a slap in the face.
