I’d be happy to have Amari Cooper back, but I just don’t see how that’s a possibility with Dak being tagged today and the whole $33 million counting towards the cap. The Cowboys have approximately 20 free agents that hit the open market today and half of those were starters last season.
The new CBA really affected the Cowboys more than any other team because they lost the 2nd tag that they would’ve used on Amari & they would’ve been compensated handsomely if he signed with another team. It also put us at a disadvantage when they had less than 48 hours to negotiate after the CBA was signed and the window for players to talk to other teams opened.
It also doesn’t help that Todd France is an absolute tool and a QB that has a career record of 4-9 vs. playoff teams thinks he should be the highest paid player in the history of football, but they (Dak & France) always had the advantage of knowing WORST case scenario Dak would be tagged and make at least $33m this year. The Cowboys really couldn’t have handled this situation any differently because Dak & France wanted to wait for the CBA and it really crippled the Cowboys cap now that the whole $33m counts towards the cap and they have so many positions to fill.
With that being said - the offense is just as talented as any other offense in the league, so it’s time to allocate as much money as they can to rebuild this defense.
