I can agree with that. Could have signed both, but I think Cooks is much more suited to being a No. 3 receiver now and I'm hoping that this staff gives Turpin a legitimate shot at that role.
The thing is Turpin is well under 160 pounds so the coaches really do have to be selective about how much they use him on offense. Over the middle he'll be taking hits from linebackers that outweigh him by a hundred pounds on occasion.
I like him too but he really hasn't done much the last two seasons I think they picked up that other guy from Philadelphia to do very similar things for less money and you're right they're going to the draft but that's not going to end there there's so many decent or good free agent veteran receiver still out there I believe this staff both sides of the ball are purging some of the guys that don't think is a good fit here and they're going to bring their own guys in it's natural you're not going to have the same players especially the role players are the depth guys they're going to want some that are familiar with what they're going to be running...
Do we really gotta point that out all the time it's not true even if there is some truth to it he's gone because he hasn't done much the last two seasons and the new coaching staff and their scheme they're picking some of the players they want here literally scheme changes typically you get player changes and he wasn't a very big impact player that you're gonna be sorry lost I like him but he's not gone because of what he said...
Look I like him as well but you can't keep everyone and he was not an impact player here he hasn't done much in the last two seasons at all he's not a big loss the new coaching staff running new schemes want him here and the Saints are probably gonna run something like our old scheme and he's a better fit there it's as simple as that they didn't offer him a contract just like Lewis and tank didn't get offers if Jerry wanted them here he would have made them some kind of offer and he did not...
Don't argue with a person who used a handle calling himself a pessimist you'll never win it's their way or no way he doesn't see the big picture people are shocked that some of our better players in tank and Lewis and now cooks are not even being offered contracts but they don't get why they don't get that a new scheme and a new coaching staff have different tastes and different players and they're gonna bring somebody else in here...
I don't disagree, but I think he needs to be used much more than he has been. He has shown the ability to be dynamic, and we don't have many players who can.
Completely agree.
You’re comfortable signing guys cut by other teams during training camps? That’s how you suggest the Cowboys get competitive? If a very good team that know’s it’s competitive now is considering comp picks in the 2026 draft, that is strategic. If a bad team, like the Cowboys is considering comp pick in the 2026 draft that is giving up on the upcoming season.
He’s getting 13m for 2 years
So a possible 6th round comp pick for 2026 seems likely. If so that basically means the Kaiir Elam trade was free since Dallas gave up next year's 7th as part of the deal.
He was gone long before that. There’s a reason it took him this long to find a team.
I don't know how accurate that is but he would have been on the field for 50 snaps which is almost the entire game for 17 games to have those kind of targets or snaps I should say that doesn't seem right to me I mean when the whole entire offense maybe on a good day where they're just having really long drives might have a 60 snap game here and there but for the most part he'd have been on the field the whole entire year almost every snap of every game... I'm not saying you're wrong but that just doesn't seem right but yes I would like to see Turpin get more snaps but tolbert had 7 touchdowns and almost as many yards in his yards per catch were very similar to Samuels and cup last year so let's calm down obviously better than Gallup
YUP easy to see why?
but at this stage of his career he's not better. TUrpin with more targets and used properly is better IMHO..
Turpin is a plus return guy so as long as he gets at least the 300 WR snaps he adds real value without too much risk.
