Amari Cooper

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33420970/sources-dallas-cowboys-wr-amari-cooper-likely-released


I would like this addition , but he will probably go to a contender.

 

JMO, but 2 much Wr talent in the draft that won't be drafted because of how many there are, and they will be way cheaper 2 get.

 

So many rookie WR are making an immediate impact as well. It's one position where you can get a lot for your buck right away.

 

Cooper is really good but he is inconsistent and has a tendency to miss time.

Put the money in to the OLine and Secondary imo

 

No. Lots of good WR coming out. FA $ has to go elsewhere.

 

Dallas was stupid to give him those big $$$, plus Dak and Zeke,Yikes !

 

This

 

SIGN HIM! SIGN......

 

Add another free agent WR JuJu needs to get behind in line to be signed.

I am still hoping JuJu returns to the Steelers next year.

 

Not interested in him, he will be too expensive, they might give Diontae a contract extension this offseason.

 

Aside from the money what free agent pass catcher would want to go to the Steelers right now? They don’t have a QB. Cooper will have other offers and virtually any other team will give him a better chance to succeed and put up numbers.

 

No thank you. Has nothing to do with Amari's abilities either. The current issue with the team is the lack of a track burner at WR. Amari is not this in any sense of the word.

 

Amari is a solid solid WR and he doesn't cause drama.

 

I just agreed with all 3 of You. I'm so wishy-washy. LoL. In reality all 3 are correct.

 

I would pay him $15 million before i would pay Ju Ju that kinda money.

 

I would not personally.


Amari's skillset is best suited towards the outside where he can function as a X Receiver. Sadly... that is all he has ever been in his career. Still a great route runner and very good overall speed but not the consistency of hands one looks for in the slot; the area JuJu excels at. JuJu's importance at the slot cannot be understated here as teams need as many high volume Receiving targets as they can obtain. For that matter, take a look at all the current NFL Playoffs teams from this past season; all teams having more than one option; Chiefs included.


Pittsburgh only has one of them signed under contract in Pat Freiermuth. Chase is a big slot option but is not as consistent with catches as JuJu is. Truth be told, I am not going to be surprised if the Steelers elect to not just resign JuJu but draft a track burner who can play both inside and outside; a possible replacement for Claypool.



Alec Pierce or even George Pickens would be options to consider if the Steelers are going that route. I seriously doubt that they are but historically speaking, Steelers Receivers have to perform more than one role on the team while having their defined role already set in stone. Both Pickens and Piece are track burners but both can play inside and outside. Of the two, I like Pierce more although Pickens is not too bad either.

 

Same reason I don't really want Juju back. Move CC to the slot and get some wheels outside.

 

Dallas needs to keep him.
I’d like to see their record when he’s out.
Their Offense doesn’t look normal when he’s out.

 

Dallas… …Stupid…?

 

They are in a tough spot but yeah I think there is a chance they restructure him and keep it going. They have handed out some crazy contracts in recent years and it’s starting to hit home, that Zeke deal was utterly insane

 

Hell they had the top paid players at so many positions at one-time it was crazy, or one of the top paid.

 

It was the way they structured the deals as well, Dak has a much better contract than Mahomes for example.

 

Really???
2 be honest I really don't know much about that side of the ball. So I will take Your word for it. So it's better for the Cowboys, or Dak...compare 2 Mahomes???

 

Mahomes deal is heavily backloaded, he had a relatively modest cap hit in the first two years of his deal. Presumably that was his choice because he wanted to have a team around him.

Dak had much stronger cash flow, I.e. money actually paid over to him and a high cap hit straight away. I think he was kind of sticking it to the cowboys for not extending him in 2019 when he asked them to. He played his fourth year as an established starting QB earning something like $2m. It would have cost much less in the long run to do a deal then, bet Gerry is regretting that one.

 

Probably He is. Thanks
