Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones expected more out of wide receiver Amari Cooper after he signed a five-year, $100 million extension two years ago.
"Well, it's sometimes not all on the receiver too. It's scheme. It's getting the receiver the ball, the touches, the targets that he needs," Jones told reporters Tuesday. "But if you're gonna pay somebody a lot of money, you want them to be the best at what they do."
Cooper's $20 million base salary in 2021 was the highest among receivers, per Spotrac, but he only finished with 68 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games.
