Cowboys/OBJ Cap Room Question: Asking Price?

[Teague31]

Cap boy won’t part with anything more than the vet minimum and free parking on game days

 

[Risen Star]

We have plenty of dry powder.

 

[Kingofholland]

To make it his Home and Wherever he goes his going to want at lease a 3 Year Deal..20 Mill sounds reasonable just under 7 Mill Per Season

Yeah that would probably be a fair deal all around. You could throw in some incentive bonuses too if needed.

Dak was frustrated with Cooper.

Apparently, Cooper was also frustrated with Dak.

 

[Brooksey]

I think he probably wants more than 10M on a 3-4 year deal. This year 5M then 12-15M a year for 2 years, third year would be optional.

The contract would look big 40-50M but there will probably only be 17-20M guarantee, 5M this year 12-15M next.

I say do it, we need the talent on offense and we have the cap space.

 

[Bowdown27]

We saved 20 million from letting Cooper go for peanuts. So 10 million a year is worth it if he can get us over the hump.

That is my thought as well

I can't imagine anyone in the league would do that for a guy coming off a knee injury late in the season.

Especially considering his past two season totals.

2020 23 319 3TD
2021 44 537 5TD

This seems accurate. I think his deal will be 3 years and somewhere north of 10 mil per year.

You sir are insane.

 

[cnuball21]

You sir are insane.

Based on what? If he’s seeking a multi year deal why would he take any kind of discount?

MG will make about 10 mil a year starting next year and he was coming off an injury too.

I've posted already. Teams aren't going to do it. He wasn't a top producer or big salary guy before the knee injury. He's going to have to prove he deserves a decent sized contract.

Maybe someone will sign him to a fake extra years contract. Non guaranteed that they cut him or they are voided.

If you’re implying his box score stats from the last 2 years will drive his price I think that’s way off. He played in 7 games in 2020 and has been playing with Mayfield who was awful.

As soon as he got to the Rams he looked good.

As long as the medicals clear and his workouts are impressive he’s going to get paid.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

No way in hell ANY TEAM is signing him to a guaranteed/upfront money deal this season. Pretty sure his agent has already put out a few feelers to gauge his value. Notice he said he was looking for a place to call home. That tells me he's not hearing what he wants to hear, so he's putting all 32 teams on notice.

 

[CouchCoach]

He's not worth 10M with another injury just waiting to happen but that doesn't mean they won't do it for the exposure.

 

[Verdict]

We saved 20 million from letting Cooper go for peanuts. So 10 million a year is worth it if he can get us over the hump.

Using that logic why not bid against yourself and give him $50 Million?

 

[OmerV]

We saved 20 million from letting Cooper go for peanuts. So 10 million a year is worth it if he can get us over the hump.

I don't know that letting Cooper go justifies signing OBJ, but the question has to be asked that with OBJ coming off a major injury and with almost 3 years having passed since his last really impactful year, how can we feel confident he would notably increase our chances to get over the hump?

That said, if the price tag is the equivalent of $10 million, but we pay him only $5.29 million since there is only 52.9% of the season left, and it if is for one season only, it's probably not a bad deal. No long term cap implications if it doesn't work out.

I would be much more cautious about a multi year contract.

He has averaged 34 catches and 400 yards per season the two years before the injury. And he just turned 30.

Why do you think something less than $10 million per would be a discount?

There is no justification for letting Cooper go and not spending it on a dependable replacement. Juju Smith Shuster and Julio Jones could have been gotten for cheap but yet again we play the waiting game. Thus we lose all leverage in getting a deal done and suffer from the incompetence of this front office.

OBJ played a major part in getting the Rams into the Superbowl and winning it. If he is healthy and ready to go, I would sign him for that amount of 10 per. year deducted games played.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Hmmm ...sounds like MM wants this to happen
