Dallas Cowboys won’t commit to Amari Cooper: ‘It’s too early’ to address that
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been the subject of widespread rumors following a disappointing 2021 season.
Earlier this offseason, reports suggested Dallas could look to trade the high-priced wide receiver and attempt to re-sign fellow pass-catcher Michael Gallup in free agency instead.
According to Cowboys vice president and CEO Stephen Jones, no decision has been made on Cooper’s future in Big D. However, the front office head did not come commit to moving forward with Cooper either.
“It’s too early for me to address that yet. We’re continuing to have conversations. A lot of things affect that…moving parts.”
Even after signing Cooper to a five-year, $100 million contract extension back in March of 2020, the Cowboys’ brass had their reservations about the star pass-catcher. This apparently was only magnified last year when Cooper missed two games due to COVID-19 while being unvaccinated, which reports suggest led to a major rift behind the scenes between the former Alabama star and his organization.
