He tried to play injured in 2019 and it just didn't work out very well. He had foot issues in training camp. He had a bum ankle the whole season. Severe quad bruise early on. And his knee later on.
The game that sealed the deal from the standpoint of perception was the Eagles game in week 16 where he was targeted 12 times, caught 4, and only 24 yards the whole game. Many said he had been benched at the end but whatever.
I say healthy, he is a top 10 receiver. Maybe even top 5. And should be paid like it.
But can he stay healthy? That is the real issue. The difference between Cooper second half of 2018 and Cooper 2019 can't be ignored.
But only the Cowboys can answer the health question based on what they know.
And they aren't sharing.
