3 years agoDallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones was non-committal when asked about impending free-agent wide receiver Amari Cooper's future with the team. "It's too early for me to address that yet," Jones said. "We're continuing to have conversations. A lot of things affect that. There are some moving parts to that that we'll have to continue to massage as we move forward." Cooper has a hefty $20 million annual salary, but none of it is guaranteed in 2022. If Dallas were to release him, they'd sacrifice just $6 million in dead money. His salary will be fully guaranteed if the Cowboys carry him on their roster on March 20. Cooper caught 68 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games in 2021, his lowest marks since joining the team. A loaded offense around Cooper likely contributed to fewer opportunities for him last year, and that could continue to be a problem if he re-signs in Dallas.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
