Cowboys Eye Amari Cooper Reunion Amid WR Need

The Dallas Cowboys are expressing growing interest in reuniting with free-agent wide receiver Amari Cooper, who posted strong stats with the team from 2018 to 2021 before being traded to the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys' renewed focus on Cooper follows their failure to draft Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan or select any wide receivers in the 2024 NFL Draft, leaving a pressing need for a reliable No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb. Trade discussions with an AFC North club for a veteran wideout reportedly fell through before the draft. Team sources indicate 'building team interest' in Cooper, though it is unclear if he is open to a return and other veteran free-agent receivers remain available. The situation is especially notable given Cooper's unceremonious prior exit from Dallas and previous reports of tension with quarterback Dak Prescott. Dallas continues to seek solutions to strengthen its receiver corps ahead of the upcoming season.
