“I’m not trying to compare myself,” Coop said. “I’m not trying to say, ‘Okay, okay, where was Tyrick?’ All those guys who had deals, where were all those guys? And I have to be taller than them in certain places. “
Coop also said Tuesday that he wants the contract to be “something we can work on together.”
“Something that’s great for the team, something that’s great for me and my family,” Coop said. “This place exists and has just gotten there.”
