TRADED Amari Cooper traded to Browns

[CowboyFrog]

Cutting him outright would've been worse, again trading him is the right move just pissed we turned a 1st into a 5th with Doogie Howser OC genius boy.

 

[KJJ]

7-10, 6-11...

It’s going to be a struggle to win 9 games next season. Six of our wins this past season were within our division and we faced several backup QBs.

Good move. This mean a deal with Gallup is imminent. Now if they can sign Wilson I will be happy as can be. Every year teams are forced to make moves they dont always want to make. Its the nature of the salary cap. This was a good move imo.
Now get tanks deal restructured, sign Gregory, hit in the draft again and this is a good off season.

I agree. When the Cowboys got Cooper they needed him. It's not 2018 anymore and it's time to wash their hands of it. The NFL is a business.

 

[Hardline]

Reminds me of a scene on The Simpsons.

 

[Malhavoc]

Exactly
That’s why you take what the market bears

Sound like common sense. They needed the money now if they plan to keep any of their guys.

 

[fivetwos]

This good news is that this hopefully ends the debate that Collins is worth a premium pick.

 

[This is Our Year]

this trade was about unloading salary. Yout think teams were gonna give a 3rd and eat that salary????? cmon. GREAT job by front office.

Agreed, I’m not quite getting the outrage, the key to this was unloading the contract. When it becomes public a player is gonna be cut you’re not gonna get a lot if anything in return. And Cooper although a good WR is not worth the contract.

 

[Walker]

Wait please tell me your joking about a 5th rounder?

 

[NeonNinja]

Gallup will be lucky to get 10 million annually with his bum knee. I think the delay is the Cowboys writing a whole bunch of performance and health based incentives into his deal.

We’re talking about Jerry and Stephen and not the rest of the league.

 

[Cowboys_22]

I’m sure the FO will trade down the 5th and 6th for three 7th picks. So it’s all good

 

[Risen Star]

I'm at a loss for words.

Maybe there's something we don't know behind the scenes.

I mean we got what? 4 years out of Amari? HE was worth the 1st for those years. Not to mention that draft kind of stunk for where we drafting. So who knows.

 

[bayeslife]

Okay so let’s say Jerry says “sorry but cowboyszone posters want us to get more compensation” and he slams the phone down.

Dallas is releasing him a mere days later while getting 0 picks back. How is that better?

 

[LucaBrasi]

That salary with a so so production year made that a tough sell.

having said that, the loose lips and telegraphing a potential release makes it a tougher sell.

absolute incompetence, but not unexpected

 

[Vtwin]

Hmmmm....

Which of the remaining WRs will be next season's sacrifice?

Gallup, because he has a new contract?
or
Lamb, because of the high draft pick used on him and/or he will be due for a payday in the near future. (bonus reason... "sacrificial Lamb" has a nice ring to it)

My early prediction is Lamb.

The Amari trade was horrible in hindsight.

We won nothing. It saved Dak's career and got him one of the biggest contracts in NFL history. Then we end the Cooper era with a 5th round pick.

The Cooper trade brought us nothing positive.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wait please tell me your joking about a 5th rounder?

How much compensation did you think we'd get for a player we are about to cut?

 

[Killerinstinct]

Brandon Cooks gets traded multiple times for 1sts and Amari nets a 5th

 

[bleachedwheat]

now the team can draft a Punter and Kicker with 5th round picks maybe even the best ones in the draft this year instead of waiting until UDFA to get one. Trying to think positive; should of got pick 117 though.

 

[Risen Star]

A 5th and a move up in the 6th for a 1,000 yard WR still in his prime.
