Newly-acquired receiver Amari Cooper is still hours away from playing his first game with the Dallas Cowboys, Monday night against the Tennessee Titans.
Yet, vice-president Stephen Jones revealed on his radio show on 105.3 The Fan early Tuesday afternoon that the team is already planning on signing Cooper to a long-term contract extension.
Cooper, 24, was acquired in a trade from the Oakland Raiders for a first-round pick on Oct. 22 and is signed through 2019.
Jones said they wouldn’t have done the deal if he wasn’t in their plans long term.
