It looks like it could be tough negotiations between DeMarcus Lawrence and the Cowboys."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys 2019 Free AgencyReport: Offer Cowboys made to DeMarcus Lawrence was “not considered serious”New Robert Newhouse Jersey 2019 ,458commentsIt looks like it could be tough negotiations between DeMarcus Lawrence and the Cowboys.CSTShareTweetShareShareReport: Offer Cowboys made to DeMarcus Lawrence was “not considered serious”Tim Heitman-USA TODAY SportsWhile at the NFL Combine last week, the Dallas Cowboys reportedly made a contract offer to their star pass rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence. A deal wasn’t struck as the Cowboys and Lawrence will officially be joined in holy matrimony by the franchise tag for the second straight year. Lawrence has been vocal about not wanting to play on the tag in 2019; the latest word is that he won’t show up for any official activities until a deal is completed. Lawrence will use all of his leverage to get the deal that he wants.Tank made $17M on last year’s tag and the value for this season’s is over $20M. Any new deal will likely be valued at something in this neighborhood in terms of per year, but whatever the Cowboys offered the first time around seemingly wasn’t good enough. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, their offer “was not considered serious” by Lawrence’s camp.Negotiating anything is about paying as little as you can to some degree White Daryl Johnston Jersey , and maybe that’s the game that Dallas is playing. We don’t know if they low-balled Lawrence or if the pass rusher is just expecting some gargantuan number. What we do know is for now it seems like they couldn’t be much further apart as far as numbers go.Dallas has until July 15th to strike a long-term deal with Lawrence or else they won’t be able to until after the 2019 season. If he truly is serious about not signing a second tag, and there’s no reason to believe he wouldn’t be, that could set up for an ugly training camp period. Let’s just hope it gets resolved before then and we don’t have to deal with all of that. Amari Cooper is going to get an extension, how much it will be is the question."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys GeneralThere’s a new number to pay attention to in regards to Amari Cooper’s pending contractNew,134commentsAmari Cooper is going to get an extension Daryl Johnston Jersey 2019 , how much it will be is the question.CDTShareTweetShareShareThere’s a new number to pay attention to in regards to Amari Cooper’s pending contractOne of the best wide receivers over the last three years has been Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings.Thielen is a fantastic story and has come on strong over the last few seasons. Paired with Stefon Diggs, he is part of a potent offense in Minnesota, so it makes sense why the Vikings would want to keep him around. On Friday, they announced a long-term deal.Thielen is a top-tier receiver and based on everything we see - he seems like a cool dude. It’s great to see great players get paid, but the reality here is that this definitely impacts the Cowboys and the pending contract of Amari Cooper.Thielen’s deal will only raise Cooper’s priceThe trouble with figuring out Amari Cooper’s new deal is that his sample size as a member of the Cowboys is so small (nine games). He’s got a great overall r茅sum茅 Dallas Cowboys Donovan Wilson Jersey , but without an entire season on this team how can you gauge it properly?The answer is likely moot to Cooper’s agent as his credentials stack up favorably to Thielen. Consider the last nine games from each of their 2018 seasons.Amari Cooper: 53 receptions, 725 yards, 6 touchdownsAdam Thielen: 46 receptions, 551 yards, 4 touchdownsNot that this is the measurement above all other measurements Womens Donovan Wilson 2019 Jersey , plus it’s admittedly lost some luster over the years, but Cooper has also been to one more Pro Bowl than Thielen. The point here isn’t to say that any of this automatically makes Cooper a better receiver, it’s that it all makes for great ammunition for Amari to get a deal worth more than Thielen’s.The $16M per season club is a rare one for NFL wide receivers but it does stand to reason that Cooper deserves to be in it. Oakland obviously didn’t feel that way and traded him away before having to deal with that, and the Cowboys certainly didn’t give up a first-round pick in order to not do it. We have to begin to brace for that as the floor of whatever Cooper’s new deal will eventually look like.Are you cool with that?
