Amari Cooper - $100MM Contract

[B1GTide]

The two highest paid receivers in the NFL are now both Alabama boys, Julio and Cooper.

Cooper getting paid $60MM guaranteed on a 5 year deal. His $20MM per year second to Julio at $22MM per year.

Wow!

Apparently the Redskins offered him "significantly" more too. So, he probably could have made more than Julio had he wanted.

 

[B1GTide]

Looks like the negative stuff that the Cowboys were putting out there was all in an effort to pay him less or keep other teams from being interested. This really is a dirty business. Glad it worked out for Amari.

According to Over the Cap, most guaranteed money in a WR contract:

Odell Beckham Jr $65M
Julio Jones $64M
Amari Cooper $60M
Michael Thomas $60M
Mike Evans $55M

Happy for Cooper. Massive contract and payday for him. He and his future generations will be set up for life if he manages it well. He's also only 25 so he will have a chance at another payday but it won't be as big as this one..

Amari is getting paid! I keep waiting for my contract negotiations to to net me some bank.

I think our free-agency negotiations are a little more skewed to the ownership side than Amari's? 🤣

I think he thinks the Cowboys have a better shot at a Super Bowl Championship. Glad he staying out here.

the clown makes more news off the field than on the field!

Eh. Washington never has a good QB situation and is a perpetual dumpster fire. No amount of money should pull a player in their prime to that organization (especially a WR). As bad as Jerry Jones is, Daniel Schneider is way worse.

No disagreement here

Schneider seems to add gas to his dumpster fires! Jones likes to throw matches in his to see if they will ignite.

This reminds me of my favorite quote from The Dark Knight. It goes something like "some men will set the world on fire just to watch it burn."

He does, and I am not a fan of him or his antics at all, but boy he can play when he wants to.
...and the last 1/2 of that statement is the problem...

The biggest problem is keeping him on the field. He is small and often injured.

Beckham is kind of like Johnny Football.

Beckham's claim to fame are his one handed grabs.

Figured as much. Happy for Coop.

I've never got the love for OBJ. He is a good receiver, but not one to break the bank on because you are one wr away from a super bowl. The Browns were an absolute clown show with their island of misfit toys that they way overpaid for last year. Hell the Steelers juggling two mediocre at best qbs were a better team than them.

Julio and Amari reset the standard for WR at Alabama. The guys who have followed them have been able to look at their performance at both Bama and in the NFL and see how to hone their talents on and off the field.
