Amari Cooper is entering the final season of his rookie deal which is when players begin talking extension. The Raiders valued a first round pick more than what they were getting from Coop, so when the Cowboys offered it, they took it.The Cowboys knew this was coming as well and made the deal figuring having a Pro Bowl receiver was more valuable than what turned out to be a low first round pick. Even if that Pro Bowl receiver would be looking to get paid very soon.But it seems they weren’t quite prepared for just how much Coop and his agent would be demanding. According to a report in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, the Cowboys are much further along in contract negotiations with quarterback Dak Prescott than they are with Cooper in part because Cooper’s contract demands are “shockingly high” even for a team that recognizes he will make at very minimum $16 million per season.For what it’s worth, the Raiders are paying Antonio Brown an average of $16.7 million and they got him for the low price of a 3rd and 5th round pick. Granted Brown is 31 and Cooper is 25, but even if the contracts were identical (which it sounds like Cooper wants a lot more) the Raiders would still rather have Brown and safety Johnathan Abram — who they selected with the pick they acquired from the Cowboys — than Cooper and a third and fifth round pick.Follow @LeviDamien Second verse, same as the first. The Chargers and Raiders faced off for the second time this season and it was more of the same as with their first meeting. The Raiders couldn’t score a touchdown and the game was over basically before the fourth quarter even started.For a while there it looked like they might put up a fight. Then the Chargers scored at the end of the second quarter and got the ball right back to begin the third quarter and scored again. And that was that.BallersJohnny TownsendWhy can’t a punter be Top Baller? And where in the world did this performance come from? Townsend was possessed in this one. His first time in to punt, he faked it and ran for 42 yards Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , showing some surprising speed. That run was longer than his season punt average coming into the game (41.9).His next time out, he actually punted and had a career long 57-yarder. Tack on a Chargers holding penalty and they were started their drive on the 9-yard-line. His next punt went for 51 yards and was fair caught at the 25. Then he had a 54-yard punt. Tack on a Chargers roughing penalty and they started their drive on the 11-yard-line. That was his day. Averaging 54.0 yards per punt and 49.0 net with one inside the 20.Doug MartinBelieve it or not, the Raiders actually did drive into scoring range a few times in this game. Helping them get there a couple of those times was the play of Martin. The third time they moved into scoring range, it was with Martin having a 16-yard run, 8-yard run, 6-yard catch, and a 12-yard run. Unfortunately, that drive ended with a strip sack and those three drives resulted in just three points for the Raiders.They next scoring drive began with a 23-yard catch by Martin and ended with a 30-yard field goal. Nothing to write home about as far as the offense is concerned Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , but Martin himself had 92 yards from scrimmage including 61 yards on 15 carries (4.1 yards per carry).Jason Cabinda, Marquel Lee, Nicholas MorrowThere was a lot of positives from these three linebackers in the game. Moving Lee to the strong side and getting Cabinda and Morrow in the game paid dividends. Morrow ended the Chargers’ first possession in a three-and-out with a pass defended that probably should have been intercepted off the deflection. Cabinda and lee sent the Chargers away with another three and out on the following possession with Cabinda in tight coverage deep to force an incompletion and Lee stuffing a run on the next play.Even on the Chargers’ first scoring drive, they were doing some positive things. Lee helped string out a run for a short gain, then Morrow had a hit on Rivers on the blitz. A few plays later, Lee had tight coverage on a deep incompletiong in the end zone followed by a run stop for no gain on third and one.The following drive, the Chargers would score their first touchdown. The one good play on the drive was Shilique Calhoun making a tackle for loss and it was made possible because Morrow cut off the outside to force the play to Calhoun.The game was pretty much over by early in the third quarter, but Cabinda would add three more run stops in the game and was also in position to force a holding call that would bring back a long touchdown run and force them to settle for a field goal.It’s amazing what can happen when you give the young Antonio Brown Jersey White , hungry linebackers a chance to show they’re worth. This team desperately needs more of that.Maurice HurstAfter the Raiders had gone two games without a sack, Hurst stopped the drought and in the process tied for the team lead in sacks (3.0). That sack helped stop the Chargers’ first scoring drive and hold it to a field goal. He also had three run stops.Marcus GilchristHe had an interception and didn’t give up a big play. Not much more you can ask from a free safety than that.Honorable MentionJalen Richard – Led the team in catches (5) and yards (52). Unfortunately, much of that came after the game was out of hand.Brandon LaFell – Early on, he was the only wide receiver to catch a pass with 3 catches for 32 yards in the first quarter. He also had a big block to spring Martin for a 16-yard run.Shilique Calhoun – He had a sack in this game too, but it was wiped out by a bullshit roughing the passer penalty on Johnathan Hankins to finish off the play. ared Cook -- That second scoring drive had two big catches by Cook. The first for ten yards on third and 6 and the second for 31 yards up the seam. It’s that drop on third and four that stalled the first scoring drive that looms large.Continue to the Busters
