Dallas Cowboys appear to have made a colossal mistake in 2022

[zekecowboy]

Dallas Cowboys regretting questionable Amari Cooper trade?
Through three games, Cooper has been the most heavily targeted player in the Browns’ offense by a landslide. He’s got 27 targets in three games with 219 yards and two touchdowns on 19 receptions. After his performance on Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cooper became the first Cleveland receiver to have 100 yards in back-to-back games since the 2013 season (Josh Gordon).



Although everyone understood the financial motivations behind trading Cooper in the offseason, the Cowboys had no one to blame but themselves for the financial pickle they found themselves in. Although it’s only been two games for Dallas and we haven’t yet seen Michael Gallup, it’s clear that letting go of Cooper for a fifth-round pick in the offseason was a massive error by Jerry Jones and company.

Wide receiver is a premium position in today’s NFL. Although the Browns don’t have Deshaun Watson out there, Cooper has been able to help give their offense balance with the running game led by a dynamic two-headed monster of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Cooper has been a security blanket for interim starter Jacoby Brissett who is managing the offense well and completing over 66 percent of his passes so far.

As the season rolls along, we’ll see how much the Dallas Cowboys truly miss a player like Cooper.

*Through three games* of a 17 game season.

Another Coop thread?

Trading him wasn't the mistake. As I said many times, I really liked him and his great route running. But Dak and Coop couldn't connect on a constant basis. And while that was on both of them in my opinion Amari was a no show in too many games which gave the FO an easy decision. This and Dak's no trade clause. (not that they would ever get rid of Dak, even without a NTC)

What they got for Cooper though was absolutely laughable. If you ever needed a proof that our FO is run by idiots, this was it. Embarrassing.

Jacoby Brissett on Amari Cooper will spill gallons of Cowboys fans tears

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett had this to say when NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero asked about the Cowboys trading the receiver to Cleveland:

“I’m glad they did it. I mean he’s been unbelievable, he’s one of the smartest, hardest-working players I’ve ever worked with, comes out here every week, every day working hard, putting in the work and it’s just a pleasure to play with him. I know that he wants to just continue to keep this going.”

Jacoby Brissett is grateful to Cowboys for trading Amari Cooper to Browns

Look at Cooper’ first few games in Dallas, too. He killed it then as well. That is Cooper’s MO… he comes out blazing and then slowly loses interest once he’s proven he’s good and then tails off.

He did with the raiders, he did it here, and he’ll do it in Cleveland. It’s just not worth the money.

The logic is they are going to make up for it next year, with a younger player who'll pay off in the long run.

That, and the logic is to keep this team together for as long as possible, at least some of the core leaders, like Parsons, Diggs, Tyler Smith, etc.

I kind of like the idea of leaving cap space open, which carries over to next year, if I'm not mistaken, so that it gives the younger players currently on the team incentive to play harder and then you sign your guys you need to win and then reload with new guys the next year.

Ehhhh think there's something called the CAP and you just can't have it all.
800 yards and under 10 TD for Coop last season jeez we couldn't utilize him as the Browns seem to do so far.
20 million WR for us is a total waste of cap money and I agree with Jerry cutting ties with the Coop man!
We have a top 10 QB(Expensive to boot) and shouldn't need 2 # 1 WR and the Gal man on the team!!!

 

[JW82]

Hey if you want to move on from a guy then go ahead,
But get the compensation a 28 year old number 1 receivers demands not a backup center. That cemented Jerry and Stephen as the worst traders of all time.

 

[Typhus]

A true WR1 is wasted here unless he can throw his own passes.
Coops displeasure to be here had as much to do with his departure as his cap number did.

 

[DeaconBlues]

219 yards in 3 games?

Time to measure for that HOF jacket!!

Oh, and

In the words of Ol' 34-32 Coach Bill Parcells...

"He sucks you guys right in. Consider yourself sucked!"

Colossal?

Ease up on the hyperbole.

I’ve seen several plays that would have had this forum slagging Cooper.

I’m an Amari fan, btw

Oh, and

Coops eventual displeasure in Cleveland is looming as well.

Coops eventual displeasure in Cleveland is looming as well.

Yep. Let’s revisit this and n December

 

[nightrain]

It's a tough call to pay over $60M to your QB+WR. The Packers wouldn't even go there.

They tried. Adams refused their offer

 

[Asklesko]

Mistakes were made.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

Cooper is gone, move on

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Don't cry over spilled milk. What's done is done and can't be undone to be redone.



If Noah Brown would have had that many targets he'd have stats like that also.
