Amari Cooper isn’t only a different receiver with the Cowboys. He’s apparently trying his hand at news-breaking now, too.
Cooper told The Athletic’s Calvin Watkins Thursday that Raiders coach Jon Gruden didn’t want to trade him, rather that owner Mark Davis spearheaded sending Cooper to Dallas for a 2019 first-round pick in late October. Watkins also included in his story that Cooper said former Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie didn’t want him traded either.
Had an interesting talk with Amari Cooper today. He said Raiders owner Mark Davis wanted to make the trade and not Jon Gruden.
