He traded for Cooper, he wasn't "signed"
Dallas hasn't done diddly since the Jimmy Johnson built team. You can keep him, I'll take a hands off owner.

**** Jones. At least Ross paid for the stadium and its renovations. AT&T Stadium was financed, build and is owned by the City of Arlington and he walks around like it is "his" stadium. He is a ****ing blow hard. Without daddy's money he would have been a nobody.
No matter what you think of Ross. He is self made.
Jones just blew a 1st round pick you only do when you need a player to make a run at a Superbowl. The Cowboys are not even close. Cooper is nearing the end of his rookie contract and I wonder how Jerry will explain to the fans how he blew a 1st round pick on a player he couldn't afford a year or two later.

Geri Jones is a far worse CLOWN than Ross -- and that's sayin' a LOT IMO.
I could care less about Jerry Jones the fact is that he is the first owner to win three Super Bowls in first seven years of ownership what in the heck has Ross done.

He blew a first on a player that has had a huge impact in turning around the season and why the team is first in the NFC East, with a 99.2% chance of making the playoffs.
Cowboys have a dominate defense and a very good running game. Passing wise, they are a below average team, when you look at the entire season but after acquiring Cooper their passing stats are:

Dak Prescott With and Without Amari Cooper:
Without: 3-4 W-L; 62.1 completion percentage; 202.4 passing YPG; 8-4 TD-INT ratio; 87.4 passer rating.
With: 5-1 W-L; 74.1 completion percentage; 285.7 passing YPG; 9-3 TD-INT ratio; 105.7 passer rating.
The fans have been won over. The receiver has posted a 8 catch 180 yard game with 2 TDs which won the Redskins game and a 10 catch, 217 yard 3 TD game just last week versus the Eagles.
After striking out on Watkins in FA, the team thought they could get by with bringing in a WR coach known for route running "teaching" and a bunch of JAGs at receiver. It wasn't surprising they struggled passing the ball early on. Hurns, Williams and Gallup don't scare anyone, cause they can't make plays.
The Cowboys will have roughly 54mil in cap space next year, including Coopers 5th year.
His 5th year option of 14mil in 2019 can be knocked down via an extension.
The contracts handed out during the Romo era are gone or still playing at a decent level( Tyron Smith/Tyrone Crawford)
Players like Sean Lee, Terrance Williams and Allen Hurns can all be cut next offseason and the Cowboys can gain an extra ~13million or so with those cuts.
How can the Cowboys not afford him?
Jerry as of late has gotten off his high horse and has allowed others to have more say into the draft/FA process. Will McClay has done a good job in the draft, and his son, Stephen, has talked him out of taking Manziel and trading up for Paxton Lynch.
Jerry is an egomaniac. But at least lately he has gotten better guys to help run the personnel on the team. Ross still has Tannebaum on the Dolphins...
