That's actaully pretty sad considering how much cap space we had and still have.
Well let's see how much we paid Cooper. He signed a $2M one-year deal with Dallas and that was before his (arguably) best season.
If Cooper does end up being a starter, I think it says a lot about how Shanahan feels about Richburg and Staley/Brown. Probably feels that if Cooper could make it work between very good linemen in Dallas, he can make it work between Richburg and one of our tackles.

It's a one-year deal at a position of need. Chill out.
We will literally sign at least 20 more one-year deals before training camp commences. They can't all be All-Pros, dudes. Somebody has to be a backup.

It shows his potential. If you look at the game log we only had two hits on the QB in that game.

Cooper started 13 games last season. Was not a backup.

HAHHHHH !!!
ANOTHER great signing !!!! I've wanted the guy since he was traded from either Cards of San Diego !!
The guy was a real mauler at UNC !!!
This is gonna be a good one, and I expect us to extend his contract before we get in the playoffs !!

Early injuries kept him out. Took hold as a starter once he was healthy and got a chance. We will see. We have a different scheme than DAL but NE traded for him where he got hurt. They run some good stretch stuff.

I do not understand this signing at all. It makes perfect sense.

Swapping out one bust in Tomlinson for another in Cooper.
No thanks Jeff. This dude was Chilo Rachal bad with the Cards.
