The Dallas Cowboys went against the grain of their normal strategy of hoarding precious draft capital when they traded away this year’s first-round draft pick to acquire Amari Cooper from Oakland.

Others scoffed at the notion of giving up four years of cheap salary in exchange for what’s soon to be a sizable cap hit.
But the brain-trust at The Star knew what they were doing. Not only did they feel Cooper had the talent they were lacking at the position, they knew the type of person he was.
