Twitter: Fish: Cowboys were willing trade a 2nd rounder for Cooks

[lkelly]

I figgerd that one out all by my self I'm genus

Congrats Norman Einstein.

Fisher is lower than skip ballless

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So they traded Cooper for a 5th and we're now willing to move a 2nd for a receiver. Makes perfect sense...

It makes sense when you realize why they let Coop go.

It's Fish........you decide if it's true (lol)

Fish is usually credible on actual news.

His predictions that don't have a source and are just speculation on his part are usually not credible.

Fisher is lower than skip ballless

Not even close, pal.

 

[OGCowboy]

I don’t believe it for one minute... Jerry’s trades involve 5th rounders either way

 

[GMO415]

Whatever....

Its true

I don’t think the reason for letting Cooper go was a talent vs salary issue.

Cooks is also a salary issue, as in $18 million guaranteed next season.

 

[speedkilz88]

Its true

Just because Mr. Blue Suit reported it and everyone else is repeating doesn't necessarily make it true.

 

[rambo2]

I sure hope that's not true.

If so, it's laughable. Gave away a 10X better WR who is younger and making nearly equal salary for a 5th round pick. The worst move in recent memory.

They didn't like him and they still might be the best team in the NFC.

 

[kumizi]

They should be glad they couldn’t get it done. Would’ve been clowned mercilessly for the Amari trade.

 

[BAT]

Great no-trade.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Who are the Eagles trotting out if AJ Brown gets hurt. Who are the 49ers trotting out if Debo Samuel gets hurt. I understand your concern but you can make this argument for almost every team in football if WR #1 goes down.

Absolutely. Want proof. See Packers minus Adams.

 

[KJJ]

Someone was trying to convince me the Cowboys were just looking for some depth at WR. Lol

 

[buybuydandavis]

They hated Amari Cooper enough to trade a 2nd round pick for a guy that is like 2-3 years older and maybe just as good or less? They must have really hated Amari Cooper. Wow.

They probably have a better team than they expected. It looked like we were going to lose a whole lotta talent and drop off a ledge. Instead, we hit on the cheap yet again.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Texans are crazy for not taking a 2nd and eating his cap hit.

Exactly. If I am rebuilding a team, I'd rather have a 2nd round pick cheap for 4 years than $18M cash for 1 year where I won't be competing anyway.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I call BS..Texans would have taken a 2nd rounder and 20M off their books next year in a heartbeat for the soon to be 30 year old Cooks

Don't know if they would or not, but glad it didn't happen regardless.
Much like the rumored 2nd round pick for ET, we dodged another bullet.

 

[Davidlee1973]

Cooper was traded cuz he did not get vaxed then he got covid and missed the chiefs and raiders games. Both games we would have won if he had played. Would have given Dallas the one seed. Jerry thinks that would have made the difference. I for one agree with him.

Minus Diggs. Who have they really hit on in the second round in the last decade? Sam Williams looks to be good. So that’s 2-8 not exactly a ringing endorsement of how the second round has gone for the cowboys. Bringing in a player like cooks who’s proven in the league for a second wouldn’t have been bad in my opinion

That would of been a terrible trade on all fronts:draft capital plus his huge contract. Sign a Obj or Fuller to a team friendly 1yr deal instead
