Wide receiver Amari Cooper agreed to a five-year, $100 million deal to remain with the Dallas Cowboys late Monday night after the Washington Redskins offered him “significantly” more money, reports said.
“Amari Cooper said for months he wanted to remain with Cowboys,” Dallas Morning News reporter Michael Gehlken wrote. “Today, that desire was tested with over-the-top money the Redskins offered. Cooper stayed true to word. Back in Dallas.”
Washington landing Cooper could have marked a shifting tide in the NFC East. Instead, he rebuffed the offer to remain with Washington’s hated division rival.
