We have brought in new receivers every year, should we move on from Josh? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Dallas really backed themselves into a corner with the contracts they had handed out. Someone else should have beaten that kind of offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 He’s no better than OBJ. He’ll be irrelevant/underused, just like his predecessor in Cleveland. I hope they enjoy spending $30M combined on Cooper and David freaking Njoku, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just an insane contract for what we know his production is going to be (50ish catches; 700ish yards). While I agree, they basically gave up nothing for him, so we are just talking a percentage of the salary cap...And I wouldn’t be surprised if they can get out of it after this year, if they wanted to...

Yeah never argued it didn’t. I only objected to the Bills trading for him, I don’t care what the Brownies do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you understand what the poster is saying, no? Look at the years WR’s have with Allen vs the years WR’s have with Baker. Allen elevates everyone he plays with. Baker, the opposite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just an insane contract for what we know his production is going to be (50ish catches; 700ish yards). Cooper is closer to the 92 rec 1100+ yard guy he was in 2020 than this past year, which was turbulent in Dallas. He certainly won't be posting big numbers with Baker as his QB.

Brand J Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 10 minutes ago, Process said: Kirk is reportedly gona get $15M a year and Williams just signed for $20M. Doesn't look AS bad when you consider that. When the contract was given it was awful, but the remaining contract doesn't look as bad now. I see where the confusion is - that statement was made only in regard to the Bills. I agree, Cooper’s contract relative to his peers isn’t ridiculous so if a team can afford it, good luck! I only questioned the Bills interest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns would be better off using a first round pick on a receiver. They still could and should. They have nobody outside of Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the years WR’s have with Allen vs the years WR’s have with Baker. Allen elevates everyone he plays with. Baker, the opposite. It was just a bad point. Baker had a down year last year but is effectively on a 1 year deal this year. If he bounces back, you could do a lot worse than Baker. Bills fans should know this.

SCBills Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Salary aside, I like Cooper on a team with a lead dog. He’s a 1b, not a 1a in my opinion. Better than a #2 WR, but not close to the Hop, Diggs, Hill, DK, Kupp etc realm. If a team like the Bills could make it a fit, he’d light it up. But going to a run heavy team with a sus QB… screams to me that Cle desperately needs to know if Baker is the guy and a $20M per Cooper is the best they can give him, knowing WR FA’s aren’t going there.

TBBills Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The only smart thing about this is Coopers dad is in jail so he can't post on Twitter about Cooper not getting the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
