Cowboys news: Jerry speaks at owners meeting, Dallas has veterans to replace in Draft

Jerry Jones was ready to share the positivity with Cowboys fans after trading for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks.

One of the players the Cowboys added was WR Brandin Cooks, a player Jones admitted they tried to get in a trade last October. But Jones said he views Cooks in a role that could ultimately replace Amari Cooper, who was traded last year. “I think what you want Cooks to do is what Amari did for the overall passing game,” Jones said. “Not only in the production, which you counted on with Amari but also the room he opened up for the other receivers and those two things because of the Cooks’ speed and because of just his route running ability he does that for you.
