What is the real reason for trading Amari Cooper?

[Big_D]

He’s being willfully ignorant. Let him.

you have it backwards. If you think he’s too much of a headcase to spend a 5th, that argument is comically ridiculous!

can you post what was actually said? Be interesting to see!

 

[Runwildboys]

That’s a poor analogy. I’ve seen teams take many chances on some players. Coopers situation certainly doesn’t fall into a dire category that every team in football decided it would be best to stay away! That’s a serious stretch considering some malcontents and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th chances some have gotten over the years.

Yeah, nobody's smart enough or willing enough to pay Jerry less than a player is worth.

It’s a 5th rounder we’re talking about. A 3rd day pick. Anything that was said had no bearing on that trade! But I would still like to see a few Jerry quotes on the subject. See what scared everyone off?

I'm not going to search Google, but I know we were all aware the team wasn't happy with Cooper, and I'm pretty sure we all heard they were planning to get rid of him. If we knew, every other team knew. If you don't believe Jerry caused the price drop, what do you think did? I doubt they took the first and only offer.

Raiders didn't cut ties, they got a first round pick.

Who the just released. We will see Abrams this weekend in Green Bay.

the contract! There was no drop. No one besides Cleveland wanted to pay it. This idea that Jerry drove down his price is pure fabrication!

Google is free. Go find it. Your problem is that you don’t want to.

The 5th round pick that the Cowboys received for Cooper turned out to be LaRon Bland. It could end up that the Cowboys received excellent compensation for Cooper.

Cooper and Lamb have almost identical numbers. Unfortunately, they are also both ranked near the bottom in catch percentage. Turns out that Noah Brown has the best catch percentage of Cowboys receivers with at least 20 receptions. Interestingly, he is slightly above Lamb in yards per receptions. Go figure.

lol I knew you’d have no argument. If you’re going to use this as a ridiculous crutch, you might want to back it up with something.

Why would I waste a second of time? You’re already trying to claim that any comments “didn’t matter”. You lie to yourself about that, not to me or anyone else. Your blatant willful ignorance is your issue, not anyone else’s.

exactly and IF we can keep Lamb, Gallup and Brown on the field with DAK more game than not,. we will be fine moving forward. mix in Washington, Turpin and our solid TEBC

That’s incorrect.

The pick from Cleveland was used on Matt Waletsko.

Yeah I dont know why so many think that the Cowboys should have gotten a 1st/2nd round pick for Cooper with his contract. It's the same reason they couldnt get anything for Collins.

I fault the Cowboys more for not being proactive in finding a suitable replacement over the offseason than the decision to move on from Cooper. They put way too much stock in Gallup coming back healthy, James Washington and Noah Brown.

If our O-Line keeps it up then we are good with the WR. It would be nice to have one that can get open quick and often and deep but keeping our run first formula then we will win more often than not. And with our Defense makes odds better. And ST kicking in some plays makes us real hard to beat,

I wonder if Washington will be worth it. Was hoping one of our rookies would pan out.

 

[Batman1980]

And Dak's.

Yup once he called Dak black Kirk Cousins, he was done in Dallas.

 

[Typhus]

They did not like what AC was saying behind closed doors about this FO and Dak.
Jerry would not tolerate that.
Sorry but no link and there never will be one.

strawmans argument like I thought. again if the price “dropped” to a 5th wouldn’t more than 1 team be interested? if there’s a drop like you say, and still zero interest? Jerry must have really said something bad! lol

It’s simple really. Because other teams got far greater compensation for their #1 receivers. And fir guys that required much, much bigger paydays than Cooper’s $20 million. The “contract” argument doesn’t hold water.

What year was the ‘receiver-by-committee’ debacle that led to the Cooper trade? 2017?

Yeah, Deja Vu.

Personally I just dont see it in Washington. He wasnt anything special in Pittsburgh and has missed the entire season. My expectations of him right now are no more than a 4th wr. I almost wonder if OBJ signs with the Cowboys if Washington is even on the team.

We will see though. Stranger things have happened.
