They have a breaking news banner on the Official Cardinals Site that the team and Cooper have reached an agreement.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had just expressed unhappiness with the performance of his offensive line when he was handed a note during his news conference.

Guard Jonathan Cooper had just agreed to terms on a four-year deal.

“I’m happier right now,” Arians said.

Cooper, the seventh-overall pick, will receive a contract worth $14.5 million, including a $10 million signing. The contract contains offset language, a point of contention between the Cardinals and Cooper’s agent, Todd France.

That caused Cooper to miss the first two days of practice.

Offset language protects the team financially if Cooper was released and picked up by another team.

It’s unknown when Cooper will report. “I’m sure he’s a on a flight, then he has to take a physical and sign. Hopefully, we’ll have him on the field for (Monday).”

Earlier in the press conference, Arians was asked at what point Cooper would fall behind.

“Last week,” he said.

After news broke that he signed, Arians said, “we’re excited to have him in and watch him run the conditioning test in front of the whole team.”
