d with it comes likely change. Things will be different a season from now. The NFL just works that way.We’ll see some turnover with players as we always do and many figured that we’d see some change within the Cowboys coaching staff. Offensively Dallas struggled throughout the 2018 season and the offseason is the time where you seek to remedy that.Whatever the Dallas Cowboys were in 2018 Tyrone Crawford Jersey , Jason Garrett seems fine with it. Appearing on 105.3 The Fan on Monday morning he announced that Scott Linehan would return as the team’s offensive coordinator next season and that there would not be any major changes to the team’s coaching staff.Scott Linehan didn’t meet with reporters following the team’s playoff loss in Los Angeles and some took this as a sign that he sensed he was on the way out. Jason Garrett could have taken this opportunity on The Fan to be coy and that say decisions had yet to be made, but that was not the case. He was specific in saying that Scott Linehan is coming back.What do you make of all this?Update:1:25pm ETStephen Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Monday as well. He had this to say which seems to be stressing more patience with decision-making regarding the coaching staff.Update: 4:00pm ETDuring his Monday press conference Jason Garrett said he “didn’t know” how he answered the question about Scott Linehan in the morning. This seemed more in line with what Stephen Jones said. Shortly after it was reported that regardless of what and when he said whatever he did, Jason Garrett does expect Scott Linehan back in 2019. Make of that what you will. The Cowboys have justified the decision to give up a first-round pick for receiver Amari Cooper by arguing that the deal for the 24-year-old simulates the use of a first-round pick on a rookie receiver.There’s one major flaw in that logic. As of March, Cooper will have a fully-guaranteed salary in 2019 of $13.924 million. If the Cowboys had selected former Alabama receiver Calvin Ridley with the 19th pick in the 2018 draft, they would have had his services for four years Authentic Jaylon Smith Jersey , $11.8 million.Apart from whether Cooper’s performances over the past two years justify giving up a first-round pick, the Cowboys eventually may have to justify the draft-pick investment by making a significant financial investment. And the structure of the financial investment will be the 2019 or 2020 equivalent of the contract given several years ago to Dez Bryant.If the Cowboys decide after the season to approach Cooper about an extension, his response will (or at least should) be simple: Give me $13.924 million for 2019 and a 20-percent raise for 2020 ($16.7 million), which equates to more than $30.6 million, fully guaranteed at signing. If the Cowboys decide to see how 2019 goes Youth Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , the price for 2020 becomes, at a minimum, $16.7 million for 2020 and a 20-percent raise ($20 million) for 2021. That’s $36.7 million fully guaranteed at signing.Absent a deal like that, Cooper could simply opt to go year to year under the tag. Or he could hold out (his agent, Joel Segal http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cole-beasley-jersey , engineered the Khalil Mack showdown in Oakland) and possibly force another trade.Of course, Cooper isn’t in Mack’s league. And that’s what will make the situation so dicey for the Cowboys. In exchange for a first-round pick, they have his services for a season and a half. Beyond that, the only way to keep him off the open market will be to tag him or to sign him to a long-term deal that simulates multiple seasons of the franchise tag, regardless of whether his performance objectively merits it.
