00:00You pay Cooper Cup, three-year, $45 million deal for a cup to stay within the NFC West.
00:06He heads back to the state of Washington where he played his college football at Eastern
00:11Washington University.
00:13What do you make of the move by the Seahawks to sign Cooper Cup to a three-year, $45 million
00:17deal?
00:18I want to say I like it, but to me it actually doesn't make all that much sense.
00:21You take a look at D.K.
00:22Metcalf, who was on the team last year, they traded away.
00:24Big hulking speedster, dominant wide receiver on the outside.
00:28The wily veteran that you also had in Lockheed.
00:30And then you also had a young wide receiver in Jackson, Smith, and Jigba.
00:32Boy, the three of those guys work in tandem together.
00:34So now you're left with Jackson, Smith, and Jigba, and you say we've got to add some talent.
00:38Cooper Cup's the talent?
00:39Like, Jackson, Smith, and Jigba played a lot out of the slot last year.
00:42Cooper Cup's going to be the outside wide receiver at this point now?
00:45And also understand this, you didn't sign him on like a vet minimum or a one-year, $5
00:50million prove it deal.
00:51You take a look at that number, three years and $45 million, as if he's still an upper
00:54echelon wide receiver.
00:56Can he get back to the ways that he was maybe two to three years ago?
00:59Could be.
01:00But in the NFL, time doesn't go backwards.
01:02It moves forward at this point.
01:03And you are looking at a guy playing in an organization where he was one of the best
01:07in football.
01:08And that organization, at the end of it goes, we're not even going to design plays for you
01:12at all.
01:13And good luck.
01:14We're cutting you in the future here.
