This Coop stuff makes no sense to me. So are they cutting him strictly because of money?
You mean Dak disappears. He sucks against anyone with a winning record(aka big game:8-17), his numbers are horrible. It’s like everyone forgets how crummy dak was until amari showed up in 2018. Facts are Dak needs Amari not the other way around. Still need other proof read https://fansided.com/2022/03/04/amari-cooper-departure-bad-news-dak-prescott/amp/He can't get open . . . He disappears in the big games . . . he is overrated
Cooper should be on the team for another 4-5 years. He is only 27. In my eyes, this was a great trade. The issue, as always, is that our FO overpaid and thus he became too expensive for us. If Coop was in the 15-16m a year range (Kupp, Godwin, Evans), he would still be on the team. They overpaid and thus he became too expensive.
Coopers cap number this past year was 5 million more than Davante Adams (the next highest paid that wasn't tagged). This isn't overpaying, this is "Everything is bigger in Texas" Jones family logic. He wanted the 100m contract splash on the news.Having spent a 1st round pick for a year and a half rental, overpaying was *inevitable*, and that was the *best case* scenario. Worst case, Cooper isn't that good, and he's not worth signing. Best case is he is good, and we'll have to pay through the nose to keep him. That was baked into the cake the day of the trade.
Cooper could have gotten a great deal anywhere. Maybe not quite 20 mil, but close. But the Joneses had to make good on the trade to bring Cooper here or look like fools. All the leverage was on Cooper's side.

Cowboys going scorched earth.
If that's the case then the list shouldn't start or end with Cooper....there should be a few guys following him out the door if its about production and money.Not strictly. It starts with money vs. production. His production doesn't warrant his pay. Numberwise, Lamb was our No. 1 receiver last year.
Second, the salary cap savings can be used to sign Gallup as the No. 2 and Wilson as the No. 3. So essentially it's one receiver for $20 million vs. two for $20 million (counting Coop's dead cap hit).

And this makes no sense to me. Not what you’re saying but this approach they are taking….so Cooper needs to go because of his money vs production….so as a result I’m going to give that same money to Gallup who hasn’t had a 1k receiving season in two years, Gregory who still hasn’t played a full season and is a out to turn 30……and Kearse who has one good season under his belt. They are committing the same mistakes that they’ve been doing. I just hope they have a solid plan for getting rid of Cooper because the offense is ugly when he’s not out there.There might be. It really depends on our options. Coop can be cut for lack of production IF Gallup is his replacement because Gallup is considered a starting receiver.
Lawrence's production is not worthy of his contract, either, but cutting/trading him depends on the options. Do we sign Gregory instead? If so, do we make Parsons a full-time end? Do we sign Gregory and a free agent and keep Parsons at linebacker?
Jarwin hasn't lived up to his contract, but do we sign Schultz no matter what? Do we franchise him?
One thing we know is that Dallas is not going to bring in quality free agents, so the Joneses have to have an in-house solution, including the option of re-signing some of our free agents.

Star WR Amari Cooper reportedly wants out from the #Cowboys, and has grown tired of QB Dak Prescott’s “poor work ethic and unorthodox play style”. Per sources close to him, Cooper may pursue a reunion with #Patriots QB and former college teammate, Mac Jones.

I don’t think so.That doesn’t make sense.Here’s the actual tweet:Was Jones ever a teammate of Cooper's? Sure, they went to the same college, but I don't think Jones would have even been at Alabama before Coop left.
sounds about right. he's too busy being buddies and making commercials, but it's not like he's going to get any better.

Sounds like the end to the great Amari Cooper era. Thank God. Absolutely overrated.
