McCarthy was the driving force pushing Amari Cooper out

almost none of this is true. but you need US to gain the mildest understanding??? :facepalm:
This is literally all true and easily verified.
The fact you don't know that is sad and means you have been listening to idiot talk on here.

Amari's situation was known 14 months before the trade.
Dallas felt they overpaid him at 20M because WAS had bid on him.
Amari was mad he had virtually no guarantee and wanted an extension.
His domino games in the locker room where he then skipped practice was widely known as well.
He even noted he was following advice from Saban.
Amari had not shown up on TV since he signed then all of a sudden was at Bama games and the Mavs games maskless during COVID.
It was all performative nonsense meant to get him moved. As it finally did.

As to his other two trades perhaps spend 10 minutes reading instead of repeating nonsense tropes.

Jerry has been AWFUL as a GM. How he ultimately handled Amari was AWFUL too.
But the fact fans are so insanely and insidiously ignorant by choice drives me nuts.

Amari wasn't playing at a No. 1 level despite being paid like a No. 1 receiver. I would have preferred that we kept him, but his contract had everything to do with why we didn't. The front office had to make a choice, pay Gallup less to be a No. 2 to Lamb's No. 1 or overpay Amari (maybe they could have renegotiated Cooper's deal, but we don't know that). They chose the cheaper option and it blew up in their faces. There may have been other aspects that contributed to the choice, such as the shot decision, but it came down to the Joneses making a choice to go with the less costly option.

again, not remotely true lol. just pure nonsense. post one piece of corroborating evidence. amari took less to play for us vs was, the contract was market rate and there was no issues by the jones with what they paid him initially, especially after trading a 1 for him and knowing he'd be due. amari did not want an extension as he still had 3 years left on his current deal lol. again utter nonsense. i didn't say anything about his other two trades, i didn't repeat anything let alone nonsense ... that's you. but yeah, you clearly don't know what you're talking about and mustve fell for a fake twitter account or something. it's entertaining though

correct and was 22mil and for guy needing #1 reps to put up stats but slipped to 2 here, wasnt worth the money..appernatly his HC didn't fight for him here's the thing that keeps being left out no other team offered anymore for him in a straight pick trade.. they like other teams releasing veteran with large contract were wanting compensation to up their draft capital. Jerry didnt not get ripped off, NO other team offered better than 5 and jerry wanted to save 16mil in cap and let him go.. Ironic a 5th seems like rip off and yes it does BUT when you see Dalvin cook and more to this comp the cards just cut Hopkins outright, we gave 5th for Gilmore and Cooks..it happened all around the league, say what you want they parted ways mutually and since coopers been traded again 4th team now..not exactly doing anything special.

yes too bad they could redo his deal and keep him but again he wasn't ;popular with mikes and rubbed Jerry the wrong way and that is all true all the details can be true

Yes, jerry got ripped off in the Mongo trade for sure LOL that true. Dude likely would ahve been cut tjis off seaosn no need for trade!! 7th at best ughh!!

I can't post the twitter link for some reason but bobby belt is going off on the 1053 the fan this morning. Talking about Dak and Mike's not liking each other and alike being paranoid about Dan Quinn. How Mike pushed amari out and it pissed off the locker room. Wild stuff.




What a rubbish about Cooper.

Amari wanted out of here because of the bum of an QB we have.

He knew when he he starts to critizise him he will be on the hot seat. He did it consciously and with the goal to get out of here. And left.

Dont try to turn this round like it was a planned decission of the FO. Plan and DC FO is a contradiction in itself.


MM not liking Dak? What a rubbisch again. He came here and had the chance to say something against giving this bum a second contract. he did nothing. Looked very ok with it.

Actually.....seeing how bad Amari is these days....kind of justified in getting rid of him......

Cooper never ONCE criticized Dak....I think you guys ran with that story of him calling him a "black Kirk Cousins" and just thought it was true. Every time Cooper speaks about Dak its flattering.

I get you dislike Dak but creating lies to justify your ignorance is wild and off based. To the point you're telling a insider who has sources that he's wrong and you are right because.....well you want to justify your feelings towards Dak. Everything is rubbish but you and your sources are the truth lol.



They got rid of Cooper because they wanted to be cheap and pay Lamb down the line. Lamb made Cooper expendable not Dak. Jerry keeps showing you guys who he is and its like you guys have to be spoonfed for some reason.

he avgd 1200 yds the past two seasons with cleveland with absolutely terrible qb play. we could have absolutely used that. not justified whatsoever.
Yeah the contract arguments have some valid points on both sides, but there is no doubt that Cooper was still a valuable WR once he left Dallas. His numbers are significantly down this season, but put up 1300 yards in 2023 with guys off the street throwing him the ball most of the year.

wrong! you guys lose perspective the facts are you can't do that from a #2 position, he needed to be the primary, he was at 865 last year in Dallas and falling off lamb was the sole reason Cooper became expendable. Paying a #2 22mil who didn't seem fully committed to that role was not good busness.so yes 1180 and 1200 in b2b years for browns as the #1 , correct wouldn't be do that with lab having 1800 yards and this year while injured and playing in what 14 games Lamb had 101 -1200 yards... you go with younger, cheaper, and ascending #1 and find a good #2 who is comfy in that role..

BTW irony ,coops on his 4th team and this year under 600 yards. Literally his last 5 games all don not equal 100 yards not one 100 yard game in Buffalo only one got close many under 50 yards.. 10 games = 30 YPG..

there's a good reason when you have two alphas on the same team like at WR there begins grumping's about targets, happened in Philly and other places. the issue with the Coop trade was Gallup failing to fill the role and not finding a wr2 in the draft to replace his. you would think in Buffalo as primary with good run game and elite QB he would be doing better but under 300 yards since the trade..

So yes, so far not getting a good 2 in hindsight makes the cooper trade seem worse but for sure these stories with him not lie practicing, moody, if you didn't feed him early in game, he got less interested, and the shot issue all led to his trade, but the money was the bigger deal at the time. tolbert didn't work as a 2 ,Cooks was decent ,but this has to be the year they draft a WR2 Higher maybe 1st or 2nd round.
