News: Cooper and Byron Jones probably gone

[kskboys]

Are you down with $175 million/5 years, or more, for Dak?

It's a necessity, we don't have a choice.

Looks like Amari's agent has refused to negotiate and is heck bent on hitting the open market. Same with Byron Jones. Its also looking more and more likely the cowboys will use the franchise tag on Dak.

Pure loser mentality speculation. Oh is me. The world is falling apart. Jeez our fans feel so entitled.

Testing the market does not equate to "probably gone."

Jones is gone but I bet they still sign Coop.

 

[MojaveJT]

Lol. This team is a joke. Imagine letting go of the WR you traded a first round pick for . Step up MG, looks like you’ll be our #1 from now on.

IDK man. Having Cooper on the field helps Gallup tremendously. With Cooper gone, I’m not sure MG can’t handle the #1 role yet. Unless they can pick up another WR to help spread the field. Cobb ain’t it and Smith hasn’t even been active.

 

[lwehlers]

see why the raiders traded cooper because they did not want to work with coopers agent. coopers agent wants to him to be the highest paid receiver. just have to spend a first round or second pick on another wr or go in free agency and sign another guy to take coopers place.

Why would Amari's agent negotiate....

They are waiting on Dak's decision

 

[Corso]

It was fun while it lasted, Amari . So long, farewell.

This reminds me of Bea Arthur on the Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) singing Goodnight, But Not Goodbye...

She got them jazz hands cookin'!

The OP’s title is very misleading. Read the article, people. It doesn’t say Cooper probably doesn’t return, only that he’ll test the market if he’s not tagged, which makes sense. Why wouldn’t he?

Stop panicing, name a player that Jerry and Steven wanted to keep that got away....Cooper willl get his contract ironed out

I think you might be wrong here on that point. I'm pretty sure Amari doesn't have the same agent now as he had with the Raiders.

If Dak gets the mega-deal saying goodbye to good players will become a usual experience the next 2 seasons!
Jerry football 101 and then you think those 24 years of hunger are just bad luck!

You obviously know nothing about contracts, the salary cap and the new CBA. Troll.

 

[Creeper]

Who didn't see this coming? Why wouldn't an agent make his client hit the open market? Agents owe it to their clients to get them the best deal possible. I would do the same thing if I was Cooper or Byron Jones. I think they are both gone. Once they hit the market Jerry will not get into a bidding war for them. The Cowboys should have made the deal contingent on signing Cooper to a longer term deal. Otherwise the 1st round pick for him was paying to much.

 

[Corso]

You’re a dramatic little sister aren’t you?

He was the tank commander at the beginning of the year.
Always overly dramatic about the team.

Has been right on certain things though.

Still dramatic as heck thoughout.

Makes me think of that Leave Britney Alone! guy.

Well, because his agent is an idiot and doesn't like money. So the agent will announce that Cooper will take whatever offer the Cowboys give him, even though no team works on contracts at this point in the season and won't for a month or two.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Kyle Orton.

Cowboys released him

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Now troll away the cap.
Sell crazy bud and go find some stat or chart that shows we have billions of cap space if your man Dak get his most UNDESERVED and team destroying mega-deal!

I think you are right but his current agent sure wants cooper to be the highest paid receiver. I bet the cowboys could easily give cooper julio jones money but I think coopers agent is looking for more.
