Is this a trend that he plays for a couple of seasons and then checks out? As a Raider fan I had much higher hopes for him but certainly wasn't heartbroken when he left.

More or less expensive than our left tackle?

I don't really get the 'bum' talk.

You can pretty much write him down for 15 games and 1,000 yards. He has that one season in Oakland where he just vapor locked and dropped everything thrown his way. Then last year they were really trying to spread the ball around with Cooper, Lamb, Schultz and Gallup/Wilson in the Y getting over 100 targets. Pollard/Elliott got 100 targets as well.

I mean would any of us really turn up our noses at a 70% catch rate and 70 receptions for 900 yards out of our #2 receiver? What the hell are you looking for if not THAT guy?

Cooper would be very nice fit here. He's a great route runner, gets strong separation, is willing to be physical and can run after the catch. He's not Lou Gehrig out there but he IS usually healthy.

He checks a TON of boxes. I think too many Chiefs fans are just conditioned to shit on anything Raider (and Cowboy, for that matter) so they're not giving him his due credit.

He's also the guy that really turned the Cowboys offense around when they acquired him.

Let's face it - consistency is nice, but with Hill and Kelce on the field, it isn't vital. And do you think he's a guy who's going to check out in the post-season when we really need him?

But I think it's all moot because I'm just not willing to make the financials work with him.

My thoughts exactly- he is a better version of what Sammy Watkins brought to this team.

Yes. He's a heartless pussy. Only really shows up against bad teams. Have a close look at his game logs.

Check his green bag game first year in Dallas and get back to me, or Rams year before last.

Again this is with Dak throwing to him. His route running is amazing and going over the middle is ok with him. He is a perfect compliment to Hill

OBJ is going to get over $20M per and he's worth it.

Cooper isn't going to get that much but he's likely to get close to Tyreek money (assuming Tyreek gets a new contract soon) and that's not doable considering all the other needs we have.

Then you sign the WR. I know this shit. I was really good at Madden 08. Trust me. I took the Mexico City Flying Squirrels to back-to-back-to-back-to-back-back Super Bowls on intermediate mode.
