He was injured for most of the year. I understand the business side of it, but thinking he's going to come back and start right where he left off last season is not likely.

Somebody gave me grief at the beginning of the year when I mentioned that we should cut Pharoah. Why, because as a receiver, he reminds me of all the other dropsy wide receivers that we had under Fisher. Sure, he was a good return man, but damn! His last attempt at receiving a Goff throw - drop! Can't remember the game, but he was pulled immediately after that.
I thought he was a bubble guy in camp tbh so not surprised. Thing with Pharoh is he didn't really develop as a receiver and after that Atlanta game he hasn't looked the same on returns. Without him being a primary punt and kickoff returner he's a bottom roster guy.
Best of luck to him either way. Dude was a good team guy and worked hard hope he catches on somewhere.

Bet Naston is shitting his pants.
Honestly, it makes sense, Cooper has essentially just become a kick returner and the way the rules are set up that position is pretty unnecessary. All we really need is someone to take a knee 95% of the time, and Cooper didn't want to do that, nor is it worth a roster spot for just that.
Punt returners are more valuable.

It's a brutal business if you mostly have back up positional skills.
No doubt. Turning the ball over is the one thing that will get you replaced quick as a returner. He is one bad game from being out of a job.
he caught the ball then fumbled on the run . A fair catch would of helped . I just dont like the game depending on a special teams player .
Surely he'll end up at the Giants with all our other cast offs.
So instead we keep a guy that hasn’t proven he can catch anything and fumbles punts.
Countess was doing a good job with KR and Natson is doing good at PR. Cooper can't get on the field in any role outside of special teams for a team he has been on for 3 years. Good time to part ways.
Like Merlin said... he hasn't been the same since fumbling in the Atlanta game.
And Natson hasn't been the same since what the 2nd game he started returning punts culminating in Sunday night? I get wanting to move on from Cooper but for Natson? Sorry no salesman can close that deal.
