Very good player, I tend not to look at players we don't have vs players who we do or are available and not too keen on paying him the avg of 30 mill a season?if only we had this guy. Hes a physical monster and hes at least... 5'10"
So that lowers his cap hit this year about $6 million and lowers his cap hit next year about $3 million.
Do you think he is garbage? Or do you think he is an improvement on what the squad had last season? I think he will fill the role they will have for him quite well. He isn't being asked to be the #1 WR and certainly isn't being paid for the role, either. I was against trading a 1st or 2nd round pick for him last year because that isn't worth it. This trade and current contract make him quite the value for Dallas and leave them with options in both the draft and the remainder of free agency.
not sure about next year, but it definitely lowered what they are paying this year. Since Zeke's savings comes after June 1st, Im assuming that money will cover most of the rookie class?? Could they have freed up more money to make 1 more run at a FA that is still out there?
I hope Gallup is significantly more impactful this year. I liked him a lot before that ACL. Not so much after it.
Cooks is going to basically give you Amari Cooper numbers every year like clockwork (1000+ yards - 90 receptions - 6 TDs). That is not insignificant production and puts him squarely in the top 20 receiver range. Cooks + Ceedee + Gallup is an excellent group of wideouts.
I agree. The past three years both Cooks and Lamb have each produced more than Hopkins has while in Arizona. I do think Hopkins has the potential to have a great, impactful season, but the price in terms of both draft picks and money are too much in my opinion. Dallas has more than one position to improve.
Except we did a whole lot better in this trade. We only gave up two day 3 picks instead of a 1st.
traded 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round pick.
OBJ has big talent however my concern is the ACL injuries in back to back years. I'm happy with getting Cook looking at the deal Cowboys did an excellent job. Cook is still getting the 18 mill on this season just that Houston is paying 6 mill of it
I think he will fill a role, but I dont think WR was the teams problem last year. So the big question is how many more points is he really going to add to our team total from last year?
Would it be good well of course in this era you don’t get everything you try to piece together within the cap. Now let’s call me capboy. Look right now at the teams that went forward and now they can’t bring back everything they had from last year if you don’t want to accept it that’s on you
exactly. Its like an alcoholic "thirst" freaking catnip this Beckham thing. Its strange as heck. The guy wants the bag and is an arse. Yet many here still want him.
IMO OBJ was a serious threat when he could outrun an entire defense. That's no longer the case. Hasn't been for a few years now. Now he's just a name.
exactly right
You have to remember that this is an insanely flawed organization that doesn't go after game changing FAs so don't expect too much from this club in 2023.................
