Everyone knows that Amari Cooper is going to get paid. It’s just a matter of when and how much. When the Cowboys decided to trade their first-round pick in the 2019 draft for Cooper, they were committed to re-signing him and their hope is to do it before his fifth-year option expires after the 2019 season.
It just so happens that a couple of other top-tier receivers were also working towards new contracts. Cooper was joined by Julio Jones and Michael Thomas in wanting new deals.
