Cowboys get roasted on Twitter over Cooper trade

[AtlCPA]

There was a lot of ruage here last year that Dallas didn't top Philly's offer of a 4th round pick for Jay Ajayi. Ajayi had less than 600 yards rushing for the Eagles.

I’m actually surprised the Eagles didn’t trade for a running back. They don’t have anyone decent at that position.

Good.

They could've grabbed the guy from GB for a 7th. Glad they didn't.

The word was out that we were looking at WRs. We probably had discussions or calls with anybody who had a starting caliber WR to see what we might offer for anybody on the trade block. It's safe to say that we had a sense of the prices on these guys before pulling the trigger on Cooper. Personally, I'd have been all over Tate for a 3rd, but that's just me.

Yep and had Howie traded a first for Cooper? They would call him gm of the year.

I'm confused about that deal. They gave Montgomery away.

Yeah but Tate is a one year rental. I'm not signing a guy that age to a multi year deal.

Philly gave up a top 100 pick for a player that will be playing 8 games min, after this season he will be UFA, anyone else think this is a good idea.

 

[Rockport]

Demarius for a 4th.

No one else is giving up 1sts for WRs. Just think about that.

Cooper is 24 and if we give him a contract next year he’ll be a pillar of the offense. The others are 30+ and if they get a contract their teams will not get the same value.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Great point. His first two years in Detroit he played alongside this awful scrub named Calvin Johnson.

Yet you failed to realize that until you went to look it up..lol

So?

Ah, you didn't read the whole argument. Read back.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Makes you ask exactly why he was on the block.

The world may never know just like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

We get to find out in short fashion.

I hope he does become a pillar, however you cannot make that claim at this point.

Did we just put ourselves in a similar situation to when we signed Brandon Carr? Cooper is going to have to be paid but is he worth it with our limitations? One is a player limitation and the other is a personnel/scheme limitation, but both are going to get paid and you're going to expect more production.

Gruden was always going to trade these guys. He wants his guys hand picked. Fire sale is right. Derek Carr wont be there in 2019. He will be traded in the offseason. They better hope this works because they signed Chuckie to a fully guaranteed 10 year deal...UNHEARD OF. No HC should wield that kind of power. Mark Davis really strangled the club moreso than Daddy did. Hard to believe. This is what unchecked power does when you give the keys to the city to 1 man alone. Like Gruden,but I don't see this working.

 

[Rayman70]

Cooper was a big mistake by Gruden. He simply didn't have talent around him. Carr is terrible and overrated. Cooper will shine in Dallas,but I still wouldn't have traded a 1st for him. Spilled milk now, so its time to turn the page and play the games.

Maybe you should have done some research before posting!

Some twit said Golden Tate has benefitted from being on a team with Marvin Jones..as if Jones is the better.player..and I'm the one that needs to do some research?

Lol..I don't think so bud. I think some people here don't want.to give Tate credit.for how good he is because they are still a little butthurt over a play he made several years ago.

Get over it, fellas. It's making you look silly.

You know you’re losing the argument when you make it personal!

You know you're losing an argument when you imply that Marvin Jones is someone who would draw more coverage than Golden Tate. Lol
