Signed by Cowboys Cowboys re-sign Amari Cooper for 5 years $100M

[Texas_Pete]

Good dude, he kept his word.

Maryland has a state tax, Texas does not. Money probably wasn't that much more. Plus Dem Boyz are closer to contending. Not to mention the brotherhood he has in Dallas.

Regardless, I'm glad he stayed.

Much as people do not want to see it, the dude played injured for the second half of last season and he played lights out early doors even with Prescott throwing him the ball!

 

[phildadon86]

I definitely have him as top 10.

Don’t argue with him. Look at the avatar

 

[USArmyVet]

More bad decisions by the Dallas front office.

 

[aria]

Lol, what a moron!

In a draft deep with WR’s, Jerry over pays for a WR that shows up 50% of the time. Lol, you can’t make this stuff up.

Another reason Coop got paid...…………..team burned a 1st on him.

You cant trade a first for a year and a half rental, that would have been monumentally stupid. So they really had no choice, they had to pay him.

Y’all can come in if the ledge now.

 

[Daillest88]

Lol it’s basically a 4 year deal. The 5th year has “funny money “ beautiful structure

 

[Hadenough]

They had to sign him because of trading that #1 pick for him. Jerry would of looked worse not signing him then over paying him. He is dam good as long as he is healthy.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Defense right?

Sure as hell better be. As a matter of fact, if they used every pick on defense I wouldn’t complain at all.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Eagles, Bills, Patriots, Jets, Saints beg to differ.

Poor coaching was more of a problem those games than the offense. 5 bad outputs out of 16 isn’t out of the norm.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This board is getting to a tipping point, and it's almost as uninformed/unrealistic as Cowboys Twitter.

No one is ever happy here, a great player signed at market rates, and didn't get away and leave a massive gap in the offense. Cap will be $250m in a couple years, relax everyone.

Relaxing isn’t in their forte lol. Easier for them to cry and complain than it is to relax sadly.

For added context:

“Cooper's contract is one befitting arguably the best receiver in the league. At $20 million per year, Cooper is second among WRs in average annual value to Atlanta's Julio Jones ($22M). His $60 million in guaranteed money is fourth behind Michael Thomas($60.6M), Jones ($64M) and Odell Beckham Jr. ($65M).”

The Cowboys had to pay retail but at least they didn’t reset the market. Cooper is neither the highest paid receiver annually nor in terms of guaranteed money.

I can live with that.

when you put it like that it seems more reasonable

just hope he plays like it

 

[G2]

It doesn't matter if Cooper got signed or not, fans here would piss and moan regardless.

 

[nobody]

Dude gave us a hometown discount, I'm shocked he didnt take the Skins offer.

Well, the guy wasn't just blowing smoke when he said that he wanted to stay a Cowboy. He meant it! He also helped the team by taking a steep discount to do it.

So compound a bad decision by making another bad decision based on the first bad decision? Yeah, because that's f-ing insanity.

Stop putting blame on coaching. The players play.

Read this whole thread, people have nose dived off that ledge already...

You ever seen a team win with poor coaching? You must be a Garrett fan. I can’t discuss football with you guys.
