The speculation around Cowboys receiver Amari Cooper is only growing stronger.
The Cowboys have also leaked that Cooper is likely to get released, rather than traded in order to drive up the trade market. It makes sense since Dallas is looking to unload his contract and also get back something for him.
Dallas is choosing Michael Gallup over Cooper as the team is close to locking up Gallup to a long-term extension.
It’s a bit risky considering that Gallup is coming off ACL surgery after getting injured during this season.
He had 445 yards and two touchdowns on 35 receptions before getting hurt. On the other hand, Cooper is coming off a season where he still put up good numbers despite dealing with injuries.
He finished with 865 yards and eight touchdowns off 68 receptions.
The NFL world (especially Cowboys fans) doesn’t want Cooper to take a pay cut even though they think he should stay.
The Cowboys should take a pay cut to get Amari Cooper to stay. https://t.co/4pi5gr3Hq0

Nothing like getting a guy’s trade value up by making sure everyone knows he’s about to hit free agency https://t.co/XPjpUx2JzJ

I would love it if Amari Cooper stayed in DAL, but he definitely should not take a pay cut to do it. That wouldn’t be wise imo https://t.co/OWX7XoFdow

He should make Jerry Jones pay him every cent of that 20 million. https://t.co/iTIcaNTMAQ

With the NFL league year set to start on March 16th, it’s only a matter of time until a decision is reached.
