The Cowboys have made plenty of moves this offseason that are up for debate.
The Cowboys traded Cooper to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a swapping of 2022 sixth-round picks. That’s not a huge haul, and head coach Mike McCarthy admitted that it was tough to do.
“That was a difficult, difficult decision,” McCarthy said, per David Moore of the Dallas Morning News.
Still, it may have been a choice the Cowboys had to make. They seemed intent on clearing Cooper’s salary and were reportedly going to cut Cooper if he couldn’t be traded.
