I want to say this is nuts, but then I look at what guys like Cooks, Watkins, Landry, Diggs and Robinson make. Welcome to next iteration of salary cap inflation.

Dak's going to have a damn good group of receivers next season with Cooper, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb ( hopefully he gets re-signed ) , Blake Jarwin at TE and some rookie WR they grab in the middle rounds in the upcoming draft.

Yikes

Most overrated receiver in the league

Apparently he took less to stay in Dallas as opposed to taking more w Washington because he “wants to win”

Like he’ll be winning anymore than a wild card game with the Cowboys lmfao

How is he overrated ( never mind the most overrated WR in the NFL ) ???? In 1.5 seasons with Dallas he has over 1,900 yards receiving, averaged 14.5 yards per reception and scored 14 TDs. Sounds pretty damn good to me.

Interested to see what Anderson gets now, as he's now the best receiver on the board.

Cobb just signed in HOU

He's going to get a big deal.

Michael Irvin and Stephen A getting into an animated discussion rn on First Take regarding Dak being disrespected by the franchise tag

 

[Unholy Diver]

I didn't think he'd get 20/yr but he has been a good fit there and they gave up a 1st for him so it makes sense for them to keep him, nice 1-2 punch with Gallup

 

[TheGooooch]

He has done well there. Do I think he is a big game receiver? Not at all. But he has done well for them.

edit: I am talking playoffs

His inconsistency at times kills me, but Dallas had no choice here. They dealt a 1st for him and also have no other viable options to replace him. With Zeke also signed and a Dak extension likely on the way, its not the worst idea to have your QB/WR1/RB1 all locked into deals.

But could Jerry just not have traded for Hopkins?

 

[TheAngryHank]

Whats guaranteed. ?

If Hopkins is looking for a Cooper type contract is it worth giving up a 2nd? Have to replace Jones at CB and look at adding youth to an expensive OL. Dallas paying 4/5 OL big money. Add in a RB, WR and QB that’s 7 highly paid guys in O.

Hopkins is locked in another 2 years.

Sure he could hold out, but still.

 

[JeremyTB]

Apparently the Cowboys are interested in signing Sanders also.

I think he has 3y 40m left on his deal

 

[robertmac43]

I was really hoping the Skins would have gotten this deal through. Scary Terry and Cooper would have been a great duo at WR.

 

[Panthaz89]

I would say its kind of cheap for how young he still is.

 

[Alex Jones]

Yuck. Giving big money to a WR is bad buisness
