Ron Rivera downplayed Washington’s interest in tight end Austin Hooper.

Hooper has said it came down to Washington and Cleveland, and he signed a four-year, $42 million deal with the Browns. But Rivera said Tuesday that Washington wasn’t “really into” the Hooper sweepstakes, saying the team had no interest in resetting the tight end market.

Rivera, though, confirmed that Washington had more than just passing interest in receiver Amari Cooper.

Cooper didn't want to play on that terrible field 8 games a year.

Smart guy.

This is exactly what happens in free agency. One team gets desperate and finds itself offering Cooper 22 million/year. All it takes is one team...

Yep. Especially when you are a team thats under the cap and have to spend money.

Plus they are likely 2-3 years away from getting back to contention. Likely didn't feel like being part of a rebuild.

I read an article where Cooper said he wanted to show the league “I can produce despite having a QB like Dak.”

I could hardly believe it when I read it.

Well then, imagine how much harder he would have to work with Haskins

And we had four of the league's worst run franchises chasing after our talent:

1. Washington
2. Houston
3. Chicago
4. Miami

Terribly run teams who had money to burn, and did just that!

Perfect thread title as their DB's always seem to be in the trail position chasing our wideouts

Maybe...just maybe...MM and JJ can see this as well.

Still doesn’t make Dak a good QB.

In today's NFL it doesn't take 2-3 years to rebuild. They got their running back in place. Got their quarterback in place. Got their head coach. Now they just have to see if they made the right decision on all of those guys.

Where is this article at?

Why do you guys feel like its your priority to turn every thread into a Dak thread? Why do people have to be reminded that Dak isn't "a good qb"?

I don't disagree. Especially with Rivera running the show. But they are still top heavy on the defensive front. Secondary is very weak, Receivers are weak (Minus Terry), Tight ends are non existent. Still have to see what Ron wants to do with Scherff and Trent.

Definitely trending up.

It’s on page 6 of the internet.

 

[Proof]

Rare to hear a head coach speak with that type of honesty.

You didn't include the Raiders, who I'd put well ahead of Houston on any crap list. They signed any sweaty jock strap that came available in the Metroplex.

Ron Rivera credibility score with FanZone Cowboy haters just took a big hit.
