Cowboys admit WR committee was a mistake; hope Cooper is a No. 1

FRISCO, Texas – The committee is no more. At least that’s what the Dallas Cowboys hope their acquisition of Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders will achieve.

When the Cowboys were unable to land Sammy Watkins in free agency in March and released Dez Bryant in April, the team made an organizational decision to go with a committee of wide receivers to get the job done.

Their belief in the committee lasted seven games.

A team does not give up a first-round pick for a receiver to be part of a committee.
