Ok so what does he get 20? Still too much.

Ive watched you over the years here and EVERY year you want to spend a first round pick you want a WR. Do you think football is about the WR position? EVERY YEAR!!

We had Lamb, Cooper, Gallup and Shultz for 3 years and what did that do for us? We got further last year with less at the WR position.
Hahahahahahah. Liar. What WRs have you seen me ask for?

On jeudy I’m not sure it’s a matter of cowboys fans not “wanting” to keep him…it’s a matter of can they and field a team with so much money allocated long term to the wr position….I know the answer with the nfl cap is they can but should they?

At least with Hopkins - it’s a 2 year bridge and you can draft his replacement and still have 2 or 3 years left on the rookie deal. If jeudy comes here and balls out- he’s gonna want a huge massive deal just like lamb.
No way in hell you burn a high pick before getting him signed to a new deal. We learned that lesson with Cooper. I just don't see the kid as elite and apparently, the Broncos agree.

That happened because he was already two seasons closer to free agency than a draftee.

That’s the trade off is for knowing the player isn’t a bust.

Cooper was jettisoned because his agent allowed a contract with an easy team out after two years….about the very opposite of the Elliott deal.
I know, but only getting 3-4 years out of a first round pick is pretty bad. For the trade to have made sense we needed to have the production out of him and be willing to give the 2nd contract. Otherwise you just end up using a first to rent a player for a few years which is asinine.

Exactly......and if you burn a 1st w/o getting him signed to a new deal, guess who has all leverage during contract talk.

They signed cooper to a new deal Lolol.

Secondly, you aren’t getting an elite player at 26
