Cowboys worked out G Jonathan Cooper

[Knotamus]

 

[Macnalty]

I remember when J. Cooper and C. Warmack were the saviors we needed for the OL and how we had to take one at 18 because 2 OGs would never go before that. That was followed by rueage with the trade and Frederick pick. Looking back now...

I resemble that remark, not so sure there were many that disagreed at the time. Fred was truly the great pick for us that year, and my trust in the FO jumped immensely.

Possibly trying to make him a replacement for competition for Collins.

 

[bootyhunta]

They are looking to get early intel on the Patriots for the super bowl.

 

[NEODOG]

I thought the injury & weight messed with him. Also as stated, he did WANT to play here, for the BOYS

 

[YosemiteSam]

Why in the hell would they be doing that if Collins is going to be back for the playoffs? Maybe they're just looking to sign him for next year.

Think about that a minute. Do you go car shopping if you have a great car already?

 

[YosemiteSam]

Cooper will be a great signing. He wanted to play for Dallas watch him resurrect his career

He has been a bust so far.

 

[Stash]

I think it's more connected to Ron Leary's impending free agent departure.

 

[Stash]

No doubt, but there are plenty of cases of former busts turning things around in the right situation. Hopefully, this team, this scheme, and this environment could help him to do just that.

You might if your lease is up in a few weeks and you know you won't be keeping the car.

Is he worth signing to a roster spot in order to keep him for next year? Is he better than Ryan Seymour? I expect he is (not saying much) but if we can fix him, that'd be huge.

For next year, all he needs to do is be better than Joe Looney.

It truly would be, be it strictly for quality depth, or to open the possibility of making a concerted effort to actually play La'el Collins at right tackle.

I'd love this move.

 

[Plankton]

Never hurts to take a look at a former first rounder. As Parcells used to say, someone thought highly of the player to select him that high.

Both went before our pick and I was bummed. Then the trade back and I was unsure but I always enjoy extra picks.

 

[Staubacher]

I hope this doesn't mean Tyron's knee is worse than reported

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Unless he plans on learning to play center as well (assuming he can't already) he'd be a fool to sign here.

Not to toot my own horn by I suggested this last week

Proof that Jerry reads CZ

Parcells seems like a non stop quote machine. Everyone quotes him

Probably for next year.
