I think that Ted Larsen does. Cooper may be a sunk cost on a guaranteed contract at this point. Larsen, Cooper, and Earl Watford get to fight it out, and only two of them likely make the team.

To depend on Jonathan Cooper to be a coordinated center after falling over his own two feet throughout his first two seasons doesn't seem to be a dependable plan.

The was talk that Cooper could eventually move to Center?

Great run blocker NFL.com ranks him as the 4th best overal free agent. Love the fact these guys are really committed to building this offensive line.

Best lineman the 9er's had and the best interior offensive linemen in FA. Pretty huge if it really happens. Be exiting to get a ball control run game with some deep ball home runs thrown into the mix.

Iupati was among the worst starting guards in the NFL at pass protection so not too much I suppose.

Ellington on the other hand.....

.......Hmmm.


I wanna see the contract before I celebrate. Iupati is a good run blocker, but injuries, his pass protection have me concerned.

Yet, the potential of this move can really turn around the running game.

They already have 15 million in cap space and Carson Palmer waiting in the wings on a deal already completed for 7.4 million more

If only Cooper can pull his head our of his butt we might have a damn good OL.

Iupati may be a bad pass protector, but so is Fanika, so it is definitely an upgrade

This is huge. This sort of thing makes it easy for a guy like Wisniewski to know if he comes here he can do his job and his job only. And you put that lego brick in place too and you have a line that a very good RB will want to get behind.

Cooper can be a worse pick than Levi Brown except the Cardinals passed on Adrian Peterson in that draft. I hope the Cardinals can help change that mistake by signing Peterson in a trade.
