Trade idea...presuming we don’t franchise Dak
Cowboys may have some reluctance to signing Cooper for a long term contract worth ~$19-20M per year.
The Eagles actually offered a 2nd round pick to the Raiders for Cooper before the Cowboys outbid them with a 1st rounder. The point being is the Eagles have had recent interest in Cooper and in need of a #1.
Ertz will be 30 when the season starts while Goedert is just 24. I would guess the Eagles are looking to get a real threat at WR to pair with Wentz. Cooper could immediately renegotiate for a longer contract once traded.
Ertz would give the Cowboys a proven playmaking TE to pair with Dak. Dallas could also possibly grab Jeudy or Lamb should they drop to 17 or make a move to grab one if one is in striking distance.
Ertz is only due $6.6M in 2020 and $8.5M 2021 and then becomes a FA.
Dallas would be saving money by making this move and could utilize the extra cash on signing its own players or signing FAs.
- Use the franchise tag on Cooper
- Trade Cooper to the Eagles for either Ertz or Goedert (Eagles would likely offer Ertz over Goedert)
