[QUOTE="quickccc, post: 11763686, member: 40931"]Cowboys placed that escape clause on that renewed contract for a reason,.. suggest Cowboys have not always been comfortable with Cooper's reliability after his
first year after the big trade.
yeh Fish has a tendency to just throw darts in the dark and hope sumthin' sticks ..
To be honest, Coop wanted an out after 2 years. After his deal was signed, he admitted wanting a chance to revisit his market value while he was still under 30.
Remember his deal was signed in 2019. I think his vision was catching 100+ balls, playing for the Cowboys, salary cap all would increase his market value by a few million after two years. They didn't see CV-19 coming and its impact.[/QUOTE]
- i do not recall any Cooper saying he wanted out after 2 years, ..i would think that saying would've been definitely brought up and noted among media sources by now. ..
- But If there is any truth to that Coop "wanting out "..- after being made the 2nd highest paid WR in the NFL behind Julio Jones,.. which immediately established market value,
.. then i wish him well on his next journey, .as he planted that seed that grew to create the stagnant trade/cut situation.
- Not satisfied with 2nd best WR contract... - and he definitely will not get his 20+ million after he is released as no one is gonna trade for that 20 mil.
- It takes two to agree to such an escape pact, but i did think Coop camp was so confident that he'd fulfill expectations that they'd give Cowboys that option.
but " wanting out " would also tell me that even as among the highest paid, that Coop made up his mind that he will force a matter in
negotiations to make him THE top highest,.. and there will be no "restructure " not kicking the can down the road, to be forced to continue pay him in some way or form,
that he agreed to.
- Actually his new deal was
Not re-signed in 2019 .. it was actually re-signed in 2020, ..a month before the Cowboys drafted CeeDee Lamb in 2020,...
