Oh my God should the Eagles sign Amari Cooper?!!!! Every Philadelphia writer will do this story today. I think ESP already published his. He lives for this shit.
Cooper turns 28 in June. He caught 68 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns for a Cowboys team that (of course) choked in the playoffs. Water is wet, the grass is green, the sky is blue, and Dallas disappointed in the postseason.
My knee jerk reaction is to stay away from all former Cowboys, unless you yearn for the halcyon days of DeMarco Murray and Miles Austin. Cooper is great, but he’ll want a lot of money, and not sure he wants to catch Jalen Hurts passes anyway. I’m still on team “prove-it deal” in free agency. D.J. Chark, blah blah etc. Or maybe you end up using one of those first round draft picks on Treylon Burks or Drake London and go the youth route, even though it would be annoying to see the Birds draft a first round receiver for the third-straight year.
Keep in mind, Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson are free agents. Dalton Schultz, too. So outside of CeeDee Lamb, the Cowboys’ receiving corps might look considerably different next season. The blue checkmarks seem to think they’re gonna sign Gallup to a new deal, even though he’s coming off a ACL injury.
The Crossing Broad council has determined that the Eagles should NOT sign Amari Cooper in free agency.
My favorite moment of the Amari Cooper Cowboys era was when he was too tired with the season on the line and checked out of the game
So Sidney Jones perfectly defended Michael Gallup on 4th Down, winning the division for the Eagles
