Should He Stay Or Should He Go: J. Cooper

[Texas_OutLaw7]

Historically speaking, Dallas retains less than half of all FA's. So who would you end up keeping? We will end up voting on all of them.

• Alfred Morris, RB - Not re-signed.
• Keith Smith, FB (RFA)
• Brice Butler, WR - Not re-signed.
• Joe Looney, G - Signed short term deal.
• Jonathan Cooper, G
• Byron Bell, RT - Not re-signed.
• L.P. Ladouceur, LS
• David Irving, DT (RFA) - 1st Round tendered, if someone else signs him he walks.
• DeMarcus Lawrence, DE - Signed long term deal.
• Anthony Hitchens, ILB - Not re-signed.
• Kyle Wilber, OLB - Not re-signed. 
• Bene Benwikere, CB - Not re-signed.

This list won't include anyone who is a ERFA.

What should we do with: Jonathan Cooper, G

Since we re-signed Looney, I think we let Cooper walk.

Cooper had a significant injury in week 17, and has already set his rehabilitation back from the original return date. He is going to miss some\most\all? of the off season workouts. I think we definitely let him test the market.

 

He is hurt. Won't be able to workout for other teams. Never played a full 16 games in his career. Got hurt after 12 games with us. Has been cut by the Cleveland Browns in the past. There's no need to protect him from FA by signing him now. If he recovers from his injury and we still need depth we can sign him when he gets healthy.

 

I expect everyone to vote to keep him. I'm okay with that only on another 1  year deal like he just had.

I'd prefer him over Looney, but since we kept Looney, Cooper is redundant if we plan on drafting a LG of the future
