Don't disagree. However, there's often a team that will suprise you.Except Amari has a contract that is basically that contract and is a far worse player. There is NO GM who would keep his job after offering a 1st for Amari. I cant see any decent team offering a 2nd. MAYBE you get a 3rd from a winning team so a low 3rd but that is about his value right now.
That contract he signed was a MASSIVE outlier in terms of WR contracts. On the open market he probably gets about 15m a year considering the WR class last year and this year. There is no sound reason to try to trade for a big money WR (especially when most of the competitive teams do not really have space to do so anyway).

I just OTC on the Ravens and they have less than a million in cap space and next year have a LOT of contracts to pay out (their LT who is going to be a 20m dollar player, their TE who is going to be a 15m player, and they may try to sign LJ early), so I have no clue why they would suddenly have the cap space to drop 20m on a WR.
Because I don't believe he'll be around by the time we are good again.You are a defensive guy. Even if you got a 2 for cooper, you know you will not fix the defense with that pick. Why trade your biggest threat on offense, that has completely elevated dak's game since he got here, for a shot in the dark?

I was just looking for teams with SB potential and had enough cap room as is for 2021 for a 20mil cap hit.
But yea, with re-signings they have they are unlikely too.
Although0 they could cut Marcus Peters and Ingram which should free up some room. And if they can win the grievance with Thomas that'll give them 10mil more.
True. But better teammates, coaching, would make Cooper an alpha.He was on the sidelines on the biggest play of the year in Philly last season. He's a beta, talented but a beta.
No, I don't.Dak, Jarwin, Tyron, Collins are all coming back next year. Gallup is here for 1 more year on his rookie contract. Dak was on pace to set record numbers. Even though is didn't translate to wins at the start of the year, had there not been injuries, it would have improved by the end.
You don't think cowboys can get a competent defense through the draft next year to get them at least mid range?
You could win a superbowl with a mid range defense, and a top tier offense, especially if playing with a lead, and allowing the defense to take risks
No, I don't.
Yeah if they’re dumb. He’s the most consistent receiver.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.

Coop turned down more money to be here so I would feel bad for the guy but i would definitely have to consider it if i were calling the shots.
Offhand, I'd say we're 3 years away, but only if we can get some talent on D.Fair enough, but that second won't have anywhere near the value of cooper.
If they are trading high powered offensive weapons, it should be zeke, not cooper
Cowboys are not lacking draft picks

Depends if we remain stupid. Chris Jones was a 2nd rounder. Our 2nd round drafting sucks because Jerry is doing it.
Let’s see how Gallup, Lamb and Wilson get by the end of the year. If you get Coop involved early he has good games. If you don’t then he gets disinterested. Lol.
I'd get rid of Cooper in a heartbeat. I never thought we should have given up a first-round pick for him anyway.
If we could, er, re-COOP a second for him, I'm sealing the deal before the interested team finishes its sentence.
I'd get rid of Zeke if we could. We're not going anywhere with him. Let's stop kidding ourselves. Tear down this team. Rebuild the offensive line and defensive line and become a power run team but one with weapons on the outside in case we need to engage in a shoot-out.
