Why did they trade Amari Cooper again?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

It was a locker room thing or?

 

[Sydla]

I think they wanted his contract off the books.

And I think things Amari did rubbed Jerry the wrong way.

 

[Aftershock]

Because Dak went crying to Jerry’s office that Amari criticized him too much

 

[kevm3]

Because it's the Dallas way

Had to save ourselves some bucks

We traded Amari away and did NOTHING with the savings.

It was a locker room thing or?

According to Jerry during his radio interview, it was money. Our passing game hasn’t been as good since he was traded. It was a big mistake! Brandin Cooks isn’t close to the receiver Cooper is. He’s only put up 4 catches for 39 yards.

He can say it was all about the money but it was pretty clear Jerry was peeved about Cooper missing games during the whole thing we are not allowed to talk about here. Jerry seemed to think Cooper put himself before the team.

 

[Vtwin]

He wasn't Hall Of Fame enough for the QB.

 

[noshame]

He was tired of running fly routes having a step on the receiver and no football coming his way.

Yeah, he was pissed about the games he missed due to the illness. However, I do believe part of the reason was money.

 

[MonsterD]

I was pretty adamant about keeping him and trading Gallup but it's over need to stop this one being brought up.

 

[Big_D]

It was the right move.. he wasn't worth the money and they had to unload the contract. The crying over Cooper is funny. He was the #1 receiver, replaced by a new #1.

Cooper so far in 2023 - three games___
17 catches for 243 yards = 14.29 yards per catch, 1 TD.

You dont publicly stick your nose up at JJ and stay on the team, Cooper did that and to cleveland he went....

Didn't he call Dak the black Kirk Cousins?

According to team sources, they soured on him in the playoff loss to SF. I think they looked at the tape and saw his lack of effort with the game on the line in the 4th quarter and just decided he wasn’t worth 20M a season.

Some people don't want to hear this, but Cooper would still be the #1 WR in Dallas. Lamb is and has always been a slot receiver.

Yes but Jerry also made some cryptic comments after the whole missed games thing and some in the media reported he was peeved about it. I think it was definitely a factor.

In other words, Amari saw that Prescott was still the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback.

With Deshaun Watson who finally had a good game since he arrived in Cleveland.
