Amari Cooper

Jones supposedly down on Cooper.

"The Cowboys paid a lot to Cooper in 2021 and expected top-tier results. Instead, he failed to reach 1,000 yards receiving for the first time in three full seasons in Dallas. His 68 receptions were the second-lowest mark of his career in a full season effort. He also was forced to miss two games due to a positive COVID-19 along with his status as an unvaccinated player.

The Cowboys have some salary cap concerns and Cooper's contract represents a large portion of that as he carries the third-highest cap number on the team behind Dak Prescott and DeMarcus Lawrence for the 2022 season. The Cowboys could save $16 million against the cap by releasing Cooper."

Too expensive for us and honestly Deebo and Aiyuk should eat up most of the targets at WR with Jennings getting his share too

Yeah, would be a nice piece, but Deebo, Kittle and Aiyuk are going to gobble up all the snaps.

We don't need a receiver

can he play corner?

No thanks, especially not at $20M in base salaries from 2022-2024.

For the first time since the 90s, we don't "need" a receiver. Just get a deep threat in the draft and bring in some UDFAs.

No.

If only he can play RG, RT, CB Edge or coach in the 4th quarter

Only interested in wide receivers with pure burner speed. We already got the route running, possession receiver in Aijuk.

Agree and we can use the money elsewhere.

Jerry can't help himself. They'll just restructure everyone of note's contract and kick the can down the road. I think Zeke is the most likely to be cut.

Enjoy Buffalo

Cooper is due $20 million in fully guaranteed money on the fifth day of the new league year, March 20.

He's going to be expensive.
