Jonathan Cooper?

The Cowboys are terrible at trading. This wouldn't be an issue if the FO would just admit green was a wasted roster spot and replaced him with a better player... This is nothing more that a pathetic FO who has no idea how to prepare for injuries.
The coaching on this team is the worst.

I think you might be overvaluing Jonathan Cooper.

I can take or leave him if he's a street free agent. If he's going to cost a pick, I'd just as soon get a player from the waiver wire. Which is why I suggested Ealy, because he's an equivalent player on the other side of the ball.

Coopers contract he signed was roughly 2x that of Flemmings.

Youre undervaluing Cooper.

A waiver wire pick up has a very small chance of playing up to the level Cooper did last year for us. A 6th or 7th for a starter is chump change.

Also why would you leave someone on the street who is better than one of our starters?

Both teams won. We simply didn't have more WR space. Team just liked Austin and Beasley more as the same type guy.
Ward may not do much here but he at least is making this roster and playing in the rotation.

For the Raiders that was all reversed.

Ward might not even make our 53.

What SF signed him for on a 1 year veteran deal as an expected starter is not the measure of his market worth now that he’s apparently relegated to a backup job.

They guaranteed $4MM of that deal, so they won’t likely be cutting him, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be comparable players out there who won’t require draft pick compensation.

Disagree that the guy we let walk last season to go play for his fifth team but who didn’t win a starting job there is a significant upgrade over the best of the other VFA likely to be available. Cooper is going to be a VFA next year with creaky knees and his history of having been a top ten pick 8 years ago looking for his sixth team.

Why would San Fran, or any team, deplete their own OL depth for a late round pick two weeks before the season? :huh:

I know..weird, huh?

People think other teams get amnesia when dealing with us.

Never the case.

Beard will be back this season.

This a treatable illness..

you better believe Dallas will spare no expense getting him to the best doctors.

Relax.

Beard can have 6 or 8 games off and easily return then.

He wasnt relegated to backup duty, he was injured. So that's not remotely true.

Yes it does.


Again I guess you arent up to date on the subject.
Answer this. We have Looney starting at center for us. Who beat out Looney for a starting job just last year? This shouldnt be hard to see my dude.

What’s the distinction you’re trying to make between being a backup because of his play and being a backup because of yet another injury? And how does it make the possibility of him being relegated to a backup role then become not “remotely true?” A backup is a backup, and there’s a very real possibility he’s going to lose his starting job, again. Not because of injury, either.

As for Looney, you answer me this: which player is still on our roster and which is looking at sitting on yet another bench on yet another team? If you want to trade a pick for a guy you let walk, that’s on you. There will be comparable players available on the street.

Answering you
1. Looney is still on our roster for vet min salary. Is that impressive to you? That hurts your argument, not helps.
2. Cooper is on another team(bench if youre considering his injury, which is exactly where Looney was before the Fred debacle lmao) because he got offered a high salary contract. Looney was a free agent did he get offered a high salary contract?
3. Trading a pick for a guy you let walk isnt a negative lmao. What sort of logic is that? Im sure the Chargers would have hated to trade a late rounder for Brees. That's on you for an awful argument.
4. I guess you have a crsytal ball of sorts. Because theres a low chance thats going to happen. Unless they command a high salary.

You dodged the question but, would you let a player who beat out your STARTER last year just sit on the streets instead of offer a contract? Thats what you said.
