Dallas Cowboys appear to have made a colossal mistake in 2022

[Creeper]

A couple of points:

It wasn't trading Cooper that was a mistake, it was trading him for a 5th round pick that was the mistake. To compound it, they waived the 5th round pick hoping to sneak him onto the practice squad and he was picked up by a division foe. Total disaster of a trade.

Also, Cooper's contract would have been easy to restructure to make his CAP impact this year pretty easy to fit. Trading Cooper was not about CAP. It was about Jerry having a bug up his bottom. The surest way to mess up a trade is to make it an emotional thing.

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

Didn't Carr and Prescott say the say thing about Copper.

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.

The only colossal mistake this team has experienced is Jerry Jones buying the team.

I loved Amari but he isn’t exactly Jerry Rice

No one that's ever played wasn't Jerry rice.

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.

Cooper made Pro Bowls with both the Raiders and the Cowboys. Both teams traded him.

There has to be something about Cooper behind the scenes that nobody talks about that rears it's head after a while. If he's the awesome receiver he's being made out to be in Cleveland (after three games), why is he on his 3rd team??

He was dumped because he spoke the truth to the press about his own stats and how he should have great numbers without mentioning Dakota "Toad Hunter" Prescot's inability to get him the ball! I'm happy he spoke out, but pissed that JJ & the Toad Hunter probably worked together to get him traded! Dakota was probably in JJ's ear whispering " Loose Lips, Sink Ships" !

Pretty simple take but that's the beauty of it...cuz it's true. He's a mercurial, talented dude for sure. Consistency and mental tenacity over a long season were issues for him along with nagging injuries. He's getting older. Hey....he's gone now. Just hope Gallup isn't being pushed back too soon.

 

[Floatyworm]

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.

It's amazing how far this organization will go to cover their *****...when they make a mistake

 

[Ring6]

If Dak had wanted to keep him he'd be on the roster.

 

[terra]

Cooper had high standards and when the team does not live up to them he leaves.

We’ll said!

 

[bsbellomy]

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.

The fact that Kellen Moore and Dak both suck wasn't Amari's fault.

[kskboys]

Martin has been here longer and we haven’t won, should we move on from him too?

Has Martin proven that he's not the guy at his position that is conducive to helping in a super bowl run?

 

[GMO415]

And Coop will quit eventually. Assess this season later.

Cooper is prove all that but now he’s in Cleveland.

Key word there is "cemented". They have been and still are the worst traders of all time and the other teams know that so they wheel and deal accordingly.
