News: Cooper and Byron Jones probably gone

[Johnny23]

There are far more dysfunctional NFL teams than the Cowboys. Just because their W/L record isn't living up to some people's expectations doesn't mean they're dysfunctional.

You know better than this. You've been a fan of this team long enough my guy.

Tranquilo, vatos. Typical negotiation ploys.

 

[StarMan2112]

No way they lose Cooper. Even the Jones’ aren’t dumb enough to do that after giving up a first round pick for him.

 

[rags747]

He needs to go to KC where he can make some real $ with a Mahomes throwing to him.

 

[dagreat1_87]

little confused as to how this makes him ungrateful....Not like he asked to be traded here

 

[ondaedg]

Not sure I'd be running to Jerry's office either not knowing who is going to be HC next season.

 

[Asklesko]

Amari will go to New England and win a couple of Bowls

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.

I dont think we will let that happen. I think we get a deal worked out with Dak and tag Coop until we can lock him in.

Cooper wants to be in Dallas.

 

[lukin2006]

Just franchise him. But I’m not worried.

let Byron walk...never plays the ball...

 

[charron]

Then trade them.

Rumors, same as those saying Jerry would let Zeke walk, it's way, WAY too early anyway to speculate. Besides, Cooper has had injury issues both here and with the Raiders, he's hardly problem free, teams will factor that into any offer made to him/his agent, Dallas may not have to match any really high offer....

There are rumors and also a few facts that loom larger as the season goes on. The biggest fact right now is that Amari's agent wouldn't negotiate a contract preseason. It is absolutely in the agents and players best interest to hit the open market. They know Dallas can only tag one player and its looking like Dak is going to be that player. Sure, we might resign him but the player has ALL the leverage at this point and it will be the biggest contract ever given to a WR.

You think Dallas benefitted at all this season from caving into Zeke's absurd contract demand? We have now had a full season with Dak, Elliot, and Amari, and we are 6-6. Why bring them all back at 10x the price tag?

They hear that the clapper is returning?

Not a clapper thread.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Can't say I blame them. Leave a dysfunctional organization with a puppet coach and absolutely horrible coordinators and position coaches, and go to a well run team.

Like this but understand most teams are dysfunctional, ours a little more so. Very few teams have more cap space than we do so we have as good an shot as any. Plus he has good chemistry with Dak.

Well I was just saying, I don't blame them for jumping ship if they think Captain Clapper will be at the helm again.

None of this would be a big deal if we hadn't signed the turd to the worst contract in Cowboys history.

No argument there. I would definitely wait until I find out of the horrid clapper gets resigned. If he does we definitely aren't going anywhere.

Misread your question. It is not clear either player has an issue with Garret. It could be the other way around. Maybe neither wants a new coach.

Smart for Amari, ****** for us
