Amari Cooper Contract: Cowboys, WR Agree to Five-Year, $100 Million Extension
Cowboys, Cooper Reach Agreement on Long-Term Deal
The Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver Amari Cooper have agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract extension, the team announced Tuesday. The deal includes $60 million in guaranteed money and keeps Cooper in Dallas through the 2024 season.
Cooper's Value to Cowboys
Cooper has been a key part of the Cowboys' offense since being acquired from the Oakland Raiders in 2018. In his first season with Dallas, he led the team in receiving yards (1,189) and touchdowns (11). He followed that up with another strong season in 2019, catching 79 passes for 1,189 yards and eight touchdowns.
Cooper's production has helped the Cowboys become one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. He is a dangerous deep threat and has also shown the ability to make tough catches in traffic. His presence on the field has opened up the offense for quarterback Dak Prescott and the rest of the Cowboys' playmakers.
Contract Details
The five-year, $100 million contract extension is a significant investment by the Cowboys in Cooper. The deal makes him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. The $60 million in guaranteed money is also a sign of the Cowboys' commitment to keeping Cooper in Dallas for the long term.
The contract extension is a win-win for both sides. Cooper gets a long-term deal that will pay him handsomely, while the Cowboys get to keep one of their most important offensive players.
What's Next for Cooper and the Cowboys?
With Cooper locked up long-term, the Cowboys can now focus on other offseason priorities, such as re-signing quarterback Dak Prescott and bolstering their defense. The Cowboys are hoping to build on their success from the 2019 season and make a run at the Super Bowl in 2020.
Cooper will be a key part of the Cowboys' plans for the future. He is a young, talented wide receiver who has already shown that he can be a star in the NFL. With Cooper under contract for the next five years, the Cowboys have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.
