I didn't think it was financially possible.Did you read the article? $8 million cost and $12 million savings next year.
Washington, who offered him even more, says hi.for what? would anyone trade a 2nd round pick for a WR with 20M price tag?
i guess if we got a first sure, we have a WRs for next year so its doable,.Did you read the article? $8 million cost and $12 million savings next year.
Yep, the need is likely there, my concern is the salary number. Id need to go back and look at the last time a big cap hit like Cooper went for a 1st at the deadline.Green Bay.
They will be picking high 20s and imagine Rodgers throwing to Adams and Cooper
Yes please. Even for a 2nd
If he is traded, doesn’t the cap hit for signing bonus hit the cap as soon as he is traded?From PFT, I thought this might make for some good conversation and debate:
The Cowboys seem to be in fire sale mode, particularly in the midst of a “this is fine” fire on the defensive side of the ball. Here’s the question: Would they trade offensive players, too?
There’s one name to wonder about as the trade deadline approaches, in our view. Receiver Amari Cooper.
Yes, the Cowboys gave up a first-round pick to get him two years ago. Yes, they gave him a new contract after the 2019 season ended.
But consider these facts. First, CeeDee Lamb fell into their laps after Cooper re-signed. Second, Michael Gallup is signed through 2021 to a bargain-basement rookie deal. Third, Cedrick Wilson is pretty damn good. Fourth, with Dak gone for the rest of the season, Cooper becomes a luxury the Cowboys don’t need.
Even though Cooper signed a five-year, $100 million contract, it’s really a two-year, $40 million deal. If someone would offer them a first-rounder for Cooper right now (last year, Mohamed Sanu brought in a second-round pick at the deadline), the Cowboys would be crazy to say no.
“But what about the cap consequences?” you may ask. Trading Cooper would trigger an $8 million charge in 2021, but it would be offset by avoiding $20 million in cash and cap space — creating a $12 million net-cap gain for the Cowboys in 2021.
So any contending team out there looking for a high-end receiver (like the Packers), the window could be open to snatch Cooper from the Cowboys.

It would change the composition of that team.Green Bay.

Yeah but Sanu didnt come with a 100M price tag sir.I'd have to get that 1st rounder. Like the article says, even Muhamad Sanu got a 2nd round pick last year.
I’m giving them Amari for a first round pick. LolNo way I'm giving the Packers anything...

That would mean an $8m cap hit this year and a $20m savings next year. I would personally flip him for a first round pick. I just don’t know if a team would give up a first for him today plus pay that contract.
