What a horrible trade that turned out to be for the Raiders.

Brother, you made my heart stop for a few seconds. I thought we traded him for a second.

Yeah we got the better end of that deal.

The team seems to vibe well with him to the players respect him.

Some are going to be disappointed when they see this thread is not what they were hoping for

And then they took the *wrong* WR by taking Ruggs over CeeDee Lamb

Amari is overpaid. Need to do something about them overpaid contracts if this team wants to keep a majority of this team intact. 21 players are set to become free agents at season's end.

When this deal went down I thought we paid too much. Now in hindsight, Jerry did well with this deal.

Getting Cooper and Jerry promoting Moore to OC has upgraded this offense immensely.

No Ruggs is doing well for the Raiders. He fits well with their offense.

What second contract player on this team isnt overpaid to you?

There are some. Do the research yourself. I'm not going to do your homework for you.

When you break it down like "That", of course it's going to sound bad.

Why? What have the Cowboys won since they obtained Amari Cooper?

And imagine fans in Dallas wants to move on from Cooper.

Some people don't seem to get the idea that a team cannot have high paid players at every position. In 2022 the Cowboys are going to have to make some tough decisions. Sure, I would love to keep Cooper and Gallup and CeeDee and Wilson but 2 of those guys are free agents and there are a bunch of other free agents as well. Every time Dallas overpays a guy it makes retaining someone else that much harder. Cooper throughout his career has disappeared in half his games. That's a fact anyone can look up. This year he has 1 100 yard game and 5 games under 70 yards. In 2 games he is under 30 yards. I will not dispute his route running ability but for $20 million he is not producing as much as we should expect. Maybe if Zeke didn't cost $15 million, Lawrence $21 million, and Dak $40 million it would not be so bad to keep Cooper, but we will see in the next 2 years a few of these guys will have to go and one is not going to be Dak.

Maybe trading Cooper hurts the offense a little, assuming they don't draft another guy who can play, but maybe dumping his salary helps them retain other talent to make the team better.
