Money talks, but Byron Jones walks? The Cowboys may have other plans at cornerback
And others as well. Best case scenario… Dak, Jones, and Cooper would probably cost about $65M against the cap… leaving just $16M for the draft and FA (after cutting Crawford). You could free up a tad more if they can get Dak (and/or Cooper or Jones) to sign LONG-term deals or if they let Fleming go, but the cap money disappears fast at the top end.
Stephen Jones notes signing Dak Prescott is priority number one for Cowboys, Amari Cooper is two
hes never had more than 90 receptions, 1200 yards, 10 TDs. Disappears in games, and I’m tired of the excuses…he does…literally. He’ll give you 150 one game then 50 yards or less in 4 straight games. Did it in Oakland, does it in Dallas. When you look at the top paid WRs, the $18 mil a year guys, does Cooper at all match them. These guys are Julio Jones, Thomas, Odell, Tyreek Hill…so does he? How about the $16 ml a year guys…Evans, Hopkins, Cooks, Theilen, Watkins?? Hes better then Watkins, on par with Cooks. Hes a back end $16 mil a year guy. I would just hate to see $18 mil or more dedicated to Cooper when there likely won’t be a return

Now let’s see if Gettleman goes about this the same way or not. Because Judge IS going to have some different philosophies when it comes to FA and the draft. Getty has shown signs he takes his coaches feedback in the past.
