Twitter: Amari really wants to be a Cowboy

[The Fonz]

If he truly wants to be A Cowboy for life then maybe he tells his agent to be a little more loose about the money.

why would he when Zeke got that much the players know very well that JJ will cave in...

Keep thinking at some point he will turn it over to SJ. But I think he will always be involved in big name contracts.

Kellen Moore's offense needs to have a better route tree if it's so easy to take Cooper out of games.

Or less predictable of an offense. Which is where MM steps in to help change / design the offense enough to be not as predictable.

Like father, like son but maybe if JJ is out of being in charge he will act more rational but that is a big maybe

God I'm ready for some football, this offseason crap sucks.

So true. Or at least get free agency and the draft here. All of the speculation and wish list free agents that they’ll never sign is maddening.

Amari ...just catch the damn ball and don't check out of games and we are good.

 

[Kaiser]

What proof do we have that he is?

The proof is that he is trashing his former team and saying he will go to the highest bidder in FA.

Oh wait, he is doing the exact opposite of that. Never mind.

 

[aikemirv]

I want to see proof he checks out on games. Where is the tape?

 

[Bullflop]

In view of his ongoing problem with plantar fasciitis, Amari should be willing to allow a fair contractual deduction for that nagging issue.

 

[JoeKing]

You "bring back Dez" folks in this thread sound ridiculous. I hope you are just joking around because Dez is not even close to anything resembling a replacement for Amari Cooper.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

We do, but we've already tried this route. Huge contracts get you into trouble and lead to mediocrity. Not to mention cap hades.

Mediocrity is letting your #1 walk and replacing with an unknown rookie wr, when we need those early picks for the defense.

A while back, it was said to be Sanjay Lal that insisted on benching him for poor play but Coop must allow for his limitations at contract time.

 

[gimmesix]

Not me. We need defense with our early picks.

Some seem to think we can just get a rookie at any point and expect the same kind of production we got from Cooper. I don't understand this mind-set. Outside of expectations for the first round, the thought should always be draft players that you hope will turn out to be good starters, maybe even great, but you aren't absolutely counting on it.

I actually really like Coop but he's too inconsistent to pay 20 million a year (disappearing in the 2nd half of the season in 2 out of the last 3 years, struggles with both drops and performances on the road).

Cooper was playing through some pretty difficult injuries. I think his 2018 performance is more indicative of his talent than 2019. He toughed it out without crying about it, so some are just overlooking the fact that he was limping around the field a lot of the time.

Now, if we want to take his injuries into account in believing that's a good reason not to pay him top dollar, that's understandable.

apparently Sanjay wasn't a very good position coach. I don't think he has been hired anywhere yet.

That's cool if it's a one time thing but it happened 2 year previous in 2017 as well. That's not someone I would feel comfterable giving 3 years of high dollar guranteed money too (especially with the WR class being stacked)

ahh..ok..so he has latched on. Good for him. Good luck Seattle.

Overlooked in his interview was how he said this was his toughest year injury-wise. Whether you think he's too injury prone to resign or you think he deserves a pass, I think the injuries he dealt with this year should be a bigger part of the discussion

 

[Kwyn]

for life? lol...wow...that means he better stop dropping passes and checking out of games. MM won't stand for this crap.

Is he asking to be paid for his services? If he’s asking for lore than the vet minimum he must not want to work here badly enough.

Where’s the hometown discount Amari?

He’s showing his true colors
