Because one was traded for a third and one for what is going to be a middling first, and the Cowboys have essentially now put a 2018 first round price on his extension. So either he sucks so bad they gave up a first for another Roy Williams, or he’s doesn’t suck bad enough to not be worth resigning and gets a massive contract.
They were basically bidding against themselves in the media, and nobody else was giving up a first for the 2018 version of Amari Cooper. I’d rather give up a third for Tate (who is a better receiver right now) every single time, and I don’t think it’s even close.
