Stephon Gilmore may have held Amari Cooper without a catch in their 2019 matchup, but he still has respect for the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver.
Cooper signed a five-year, $100 million contract with Dallas and Rex Ryan didn’t agree with the extension. On ESPN’s ‘Get Up’, Ryan repeatedly called Cooper a ‘disappearing act’ and referred to him as a ‘turd’ at the end of the video. While giving Cooper some respect, Ryan continued to acknowledge that the wideout has a tendency to disappear in big moments or against elite cornerbacks.
Cooper has eclipsed 1,000 yards in four of his five seasons and has five games with more than 173 receiving yards. He’s far from a slouch receiver, and Gilmore let that be known.
Ryan quickly turned around and apologized from the comment on Friday night.
