If Barkley or Cooper are released?

I’d take Barkley as long as we find a viable RB2 as insurance. As for Coop, I’d give up a pick for him. Dallas should dump him….. Lamb is a better receiver and Gallop can compliment him just fine. Both younger.

I’d take a chance on both, at the right price.

Coopers problem is Dallas’s cap. He can probably restructure if he wants to stay but I am not sure Dallas wants to do that given that Lamb is better, younger, cheaper.

I MUCH prefer Calvin Ridley to Amari Cooper, though, if possible.

Barkley is a talent but hasn’t taken off obviously. I am biased, he’s from my area so I root for him even though I am not a penn state fan. Injuries and a really poor OL have hindered him but I’d like to see him in Miami.
 
I like them both and could see them as great fits. I think, at this point, there's more investment needed to be done with the O-line before we can utilize a back like Saquon effectively.
 
I think Dallas can find a trade partner for Cooper.
No guaranteed money left. A team can restructure his deal or draft a new one to make his cap hit work.

Cooper still is a #1b receiver. Not his fault Dak was mentally off the 2nd half of the season post injury. Look at his Vikings game for proof of his talent.
He's a non diva receiver who will 28 years old. Still a very good route runner and athletic
 
Would have to think SOMEONE with cap space would offer them something for Barkley. I believe he only has one year left on his deal, so taking a flyer on him with a late round pick seems more realistic than outright releasing him. Cooper is a different story; his guaranteed salary was signing bonus and the 2020 and 2021 seasons. They aren't going to pay him $20 million per season for the next three years.

1) If Saquon Barkley is released from the New York Giants, would you want Miami to sign him?

2) If Amari Cooper is released by the Dallas Cowboys, would you want Miami to sign him?

Apparently they are in danger of being released.

Cooper of course. Barkley needs to get an in-depth physical to be considered. I think Parker has played more games than him lately...

That would be the key. No one is going to trade for Cooper with his current contract. His salary was the highest of any wide receiver in the league this past season by over $2 million.
