Worst move was getting rid of Amari Cooper?

[Creeper]

What made the move bad was what they got in return. You don't trade away a receiver like Cooper for a 5th round pick. If that is the best offer you get then say no and keep him. At the same time, let's not forget that Cooper had a habit of disappearing in half the games he plays. He was getting paid $21 million per year. Sure they could use him, but for that kind of money against the CAP was a move they felt they had to make.

Re-signing Gallup was a mistake and probably Pollard but we have to ride it out.

I used to be so high on Gallup wow what a disappointment but Amari is looking awfully good today pollard has been looking better lately and dowdle gotta go

 

[Chasing6]

I was ok with idea until I seen what we got in return and Gallup getting injured. At that point it was a dumb decision.

 

[Carson]

And what does Brandin Cooks do?

Comparing a 1 to a 2 is silly.

i was pro keeping Cooper. Stupid getting rid of him and locking up Gallup

Cooper would be a 2 here now. Lamb is no longer a rookie.

Saying the problem with a WR is he wouldn't constantly have huge games when his replacement has all of one big game the entire season is, what's the word, silly.

I'll take the problem with Cooper over what we have now.

 

[The Quest for Six]

We know why Cooper was dumped, and it had nothing to do with football.

exactly.....

 

[KJJ]

He is. Our problem with Coop was he would go 175, 115, 87, 3, 9, 210 lol

I would take those numbers. Two bad games with that kind of production in four games is excellent. The problem in Dallas was we didn’t target him enough.

And the money you saved went to a WR coming off an ACL injury. That is a GM Jerry move.

Gallop was wasted Money. He has way underperformed based on his salary. He plays like a number 4 instead of a 2 or god forbid a 3.

 

[Tussinman]

Great timing on this thread as worn out as the topic is. It was started before the games kicked off today. Amari currently has 150 yards receiving early in the second quarter.

Amari has over 1100 yards with 2.5 games left. Has had mostly 3rd string QBs all year too(flacco literally off the street, Dorian, PJ Walker)

It wasnt about money. If I'm not mistaken cooks and gallups combined average annual salary is higher than Cooper's........

According to Jerry in a radio interview it was about the money.

 

[Big D]

Lamb , Cooper , and Cooks would be nice

Yes and no.

 

[Tussinman]

Well of course he's going to say that. His actions said otherwise he turned around and spent more money on franchise tag Schultz, resigned Gallup off an injury, and then getting cooks.

Literally the first thing Cooper did when he left was restructured his deal to make it more hit cap friendly.

He felt Amari was making too much based on his production. He was making $20M. He was also upset he missed 2 games due to Covid.

 

[Tussinman]

Yes but there was very little guaranteed money left which is all that matters. They could have easily restructured it to lower cap hits the next two years with the third year being basically a team option with a reasonable out.

Schultz was never getting resigned and Lamb is cheap so it's not like the WR position was hogging cap space. They spent more money for worst receivers, it would make no sense now to say he wasn't worth the money when the alternative was them spending more for worse

 

[big dog cowboy]

The QB did have a better rapport with Cooper than he's shown with Cooks.

Sure Cooper disappeared at times but Cooks is on pace for about 50 receptions and 700 yards this season. Cooper's greatest disappearing act was more productive than that.

Which means......nothing. They got rid of Cooper for a reason.

No. It wasn't anything to do with what the Cowboys got in return and didn't have anything to do with Gallup.

Jerry wanted to move on and give CeeDee the opportunity to be our number one. He’s going to have to pay him.

I wasn't talking to cheerleaders.
