“Come on Rex he one of the toughest receivers in the league to cover,” Gilmore, who played for Ryan when he was the Bills’ head coach in the 2015-16 seasons, wrote in a tweet on Friday. “His release game is probably top 2.”
The former Jets and Bills coach’s comment came during an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up” on Friday morning when the show was discussing the five-year, $100 million contract Cooper signed with the Cowboys.
“I wouldn’t have paid this guy,” Ryan said.” “To me, this is the biggest disappearing act in the National Football League. He doesn’t show up on the road…When the competition’s good, when he’s against the top corners, that guy disappears…
“He stops his routes, he does all this. I wouldn’t have paid this turd.”
"[Amari Cooper] is the biggest disappearing act in the National Football League. … I wouldn't have paid this turd."

Interestingly enough, Cooper had his worst game of the 2019 season when he and the Cowboys faced Gilmore and the Patriots in November.
