In good news for Cowboys fans and management, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports speculates that there may not be as robust a free-agent market for wide receiver Amari Cooper as expected. Cooper would be the biggest name free-agent receiver to hit the open market without a franchise tag in some time, but Robinson notes that the incredible depth of this year’s NFL Draft class at wide receiver might make teams more skittish about resetting the market to sign Cooper. Granted, Robinson also adds, “it only takes one suitor.”
Here are some more notes from around the NFC East:
- Washington’s negotiations with star left tackle Trent Williams have been well documented since last offseason. The ultimate fallout led Williams to sit out all of last season. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports that negotiations disintegrated when Williams asked for quarterback money. Of course, it’s hard to know what that specifically means. Some lower-tier quarterbacks (like Mike Glennon and Case Keenum) have received deals with average values only slightly above the highest-paid tackles around the league.
- Cowboys wide receiver Ventell Bryant was arrested on a DUI charge in Tampa, Florida on Wednesday, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. In Bryant’s arrest report, the arresting officer notes that Bryant admitted to having a number of drinks before getting behind the wheel and tested at a blood-alcohol level of .102 and .099 on a breathalyzer (well above the legal limit of .08). Bryant made Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of Temple and emerged as a key contributor on special teams in his rookie season.
- The Eagles face a difficult decision surrounding the contract of veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins, according to ESPN staff writer Tim McManus. Philadelphia must decide whether to enact a club option in Jenkins’ contract before the start of the new league year on March 18th for $7.6MM. However, Jenkins has made clear that he will not play under those terms. He had wanted a new contract prior to last season but was willing to play under his contract in 2020. While Jenkins has remained an elite defensive back, the Eagles have been tentative to give the 32-year old a new contract that could pay him into his mid-30s.
Who wrote this? “More than 10 times the legal limit” Not quite. Barely over. .8 would be 10x and you die at about .4 give or take.
yea it’s only about 1.3 over the limit but actually amount it’s really 1.275 over the limit if u don’t round up . that’s a far cry from 10 times over . that a bit of bad reporting about 10 times over the limit of bad reporting I like to see
So give Malcolm some of what he’s looking for with the Eagles have the voidable years later
Let him walk, he’s not happy with the deal and no sense in overpaying in declining years.
Or let Dallas sign him as a stop-gap S.
I’m not advocating drinking and driving, however, I think your math is a little off. .10 would be slightly above the legal limit. .80 would be 10x the limit.
his bac .02% over the legal limit not 10 times over..
Someone download the Athletic, chances are it says 10x in there.
Amari Cooper to the Colts… they have loads of cap space, they have Hilton who can opposite, have a elite TE in Doyle, and a nice young RB in Mack. Plus have a great like with Nelson Kelly and Smith.
I’d suggest keeping with Jacoby Brissett over getting in Rivers who have 2 years max.
AJ Green to the Buffalo Bills.
They have a bunch of cap space and can offer a heap of money. Green would be perfect cause he’s so versatile, and would unlock that offence making the Bills a much stronger team.
E Sanders to stay with the 9ers.
Robby Anderson to the Raiders.
Raiders should draft either Lamb or Jeudy with the 12th pick them trade down with the 19th pick.
Give Carr two really good WRs and make Vegas interesting
Randall Cobb to stay with the Cowboys.
Perriman to the Jets to replace Anderson.
Dorsett to the Packers
The Cowboys will re-sign Coop but if they can’t this draft is super deep at WR. But he has said he wants to be a Cowboy for life.
Or let Dallas sign Jenkins as a stop-gap S.
