Amari Cooper Heading to the Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Cooper, a four-time Pro Bowler, will bring a much-needed boost to the Raiders' passing attack. He has averaged over 1,000 receiving yards per season since entering the NFL in 2015.

The Raiders have been looking for a true number one receiver for years, and they believe they have found him in Cooper. He is a physical receiver with excellent hands and route running skills. He is also a deep threat, which will open up the field for the Raiders' other receivers.

The Cowboys are getting a first-round pick in return for Cooper, which they can use to address other needs on their roster. Cooper was a key part of the Cowboys' offense, but they felt that they could get a better return for him in a trade.

The Raiders are hoping that Cooper can help them return to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. They have a talented roster, but they need a few more pieces to be a contender. Cooper is one of those pieces, and he could be the difference-maker for the Raiders.
