Dallas to release Amari Cooper

[Tapey]

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson reports “there hasn’t been any interest” in trading for Amari Cooper.​

Trading Cooper before his salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 20 isn’t expected, leaving Dallas likely to grant his release. Cooper's $20 million salary is high, but the structure is team-friendly with no guaranteed money left and could look better after Davante Adams and other top receivers sign new deals. Cooper’s market stands to benefit with free agents Chris Godwin and Mike Willams expected to re-sign or be franchised. Dallas plans to use its cap savings on Cooper to extend Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson, a move that allows them to keep both receivers at less than Cooper’s cap hit.

I’m shocked no one wants to trade for Cooper knowing the Cowboys are going to release him, shocked I tell you.

So you are saying that Jerry's inability to keep the teams plans "in house" is negatively effecting his team? I can't see how that is possible. That's never happened to him before. He's usually so humble and secretive...

Jerry should be locked away in a padded cell.

I would gladly take him on the Colts and we have the cap space to pay him whatever the hell he wants.

Are you forgetting you have CeeDee Lamb? He's already you're #1.

Didn't forget him, and no, he 's not a no. 1

 

[THUNDER]

Too many drops for sure so far, but he is absolutely a #1. He has only played 2 seasons and was already the Cowboys #1 and doesn't get the targets some other teams #1's do. But his drops sure looked to me like a guy worried too much about trying to make things happen after the catch not at all a guy who is scared to go over the middle.

Agree to disagree.

Yeah he definitely is.

Ok, why?
And don't give me his stats.
He had a lot of balls thrown his way........ because Coop got all the attention.
I expect him to have less catches this coming year without Coop.

He was a better prospect coming out of college and is already a better WR. He will without a doubt outperform Cooper wherever he ends up in 2022.

He had 79 catches last year, shoulda been 85-88 with all the drops, because of Coop.
Unless they replace Coop with a threat, his numbers drop.
Do some research, Daks numbers are markedly worse when Coop was/is out of the lineup.
Why was that if Lamb was/ is a no. 1 ?

That's just on Dak being overrated. Lamb could go on any team and produce withy any QB. Imagine killing Lamb for having some drops as a young player when Cooper has had issues with drops his entire career.

Lamb easily has the skills to be a #1, but his drops are on him not Dak.
