Twitter: Browns interested in WR Cooper

[big dog cowboy]

Cowboys want a 3rd. Browns want to give a 4th.

I hate to get only a 4th. But to get out of that contract, I'm tempted to say TAKE IT!

Give the Commodes a call, thought they wanted Cooper...

Cooper for a 4th is robbery. I would rather keep him at his cap charge than give him up for that. If the Browns don't want to give up at least a 3rd, find somebody that does or just hold onto him. Or settle for the 4th so long as they throw in another pick or two in 2023.

Cooper would go from Carr to Dak to Mayfield. That’s not trending in the right direction.

Of course it is robbery.

But we are talking about one of the more inept front offices in the entire NFL in terms of handling trades and talent management.

For them to actually get a draft choice might be a minor miracle.

Then you restructure and keep him. It's that simple

Agree. Business 101 is you don’t give an asset away except in extreme circumstances. Their cap situation isn’t extreme - they restructure to buy time to get a reasonable return. Of course, Coop has to be willing to restructure and that might be the issue.

Need a 3rd. No on a 4th

Cowboys want a 3rd. Browns want to give a 4th. There’s smoke here their local radio had Fisher on yesterday picking his brain.

that's about right. we buy high sell low kind of organization

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The only way I can justify giving up Cooper for a 4th is if the Cowboys are thinking about trading two 4th round picks to move up for a higher pick. That's just conjecture at this point but it is a way to turn Cooper into a quality draft pick while getting out of his contract at the same time.

I would think he could deliver a 3 at the very least. What are they doing with the Progressive insurance spokesmen at QB ? The drop off for Coop going from Dak to Mayfield is steep .

A 4th rounder for Coop?

I see Jerry is getting bent over yet again in a trade, just laughable how inept this front office is.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Every team that is trading away a star gets a premium pick.

Letting Cooper go for a 4th would be bad business. Should be a 2nd. A 3rd is fine.

 

[plymkr]

Third yea, fourth no.

I want a 3rd but I'd settle for a 4th considering earlier in the week we were going to just release him with no compensation.

 

[fivetwos]

I like Amari but I wouldn’t give up a 2nd round pick and pay him $20m per year.

Thank you!

This would be much easier if people would look at it from the opposite point of view.

How many people wanting a 2nd for Cooper would give one up for him with that contract?

His value is a 3rd due to no signing bonus. Thats it.

Unlikely they do. He has an overpaid contract already so asking a team to give up draft capital to get an overpaid WR is a tall ask.

 

[MRV52]

What a clown organization. Sure ask for a 4th, while the Eagles would have gotten a 1st.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Only we offer 1st for WRs.

Oh at the time I understood it. Cooper was cheap and he was only 24 years old. I understood it. But the league is way more receiver heavy now and its been proven guys can just come right in and contribute out of the draft.

 

[CWR]

Give me a 2nd or kick rocks. I'd keep and restructure. Done and done.

 

[CWR]

Thank you!

You don't think his new team will try to extend him a couple years and lower the cap hit?

 

[Jake]

If they trade him for a 4th then it's 100 percent a cap play...

More like a Jerry play.

'You check ‘me’ at the door in a football team,” Jones said (speaking of Cooper).
