Amari Cooper Traded to Raiders in Blockbuster Deal

Cooper's Arrival Bolsters Raiders' Receiving Corps

In a blockbuster trade that sent shockwaves through the NFL, the Oakland Raiders acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Cowboys Get Draft Capital in Return

While the Cowboys lose a talented pass-catcher in Cooper, they gain valuable draft capital in return. The first-round pick they received could potentially be used to select a player who can fill Cooper's void in their offense.

Raiders Gain Elite Target for Carr

For the Raiders, Cooper's arrival is a major boost to their passing attack. The 24-year-old wideout is one of the most talented receivers in the NFL and gives Derek Carr a reliable target to throw to.

Raiders Look to Improve on Disappointing 2018 Campaign

The Raiders are coming off a disappointing 4-12 season and are hoping that Cooper's addition will help them improve upon that record in 2019. With Cooper joining forces with tight end Darren Waller and running back Josh Jacobs, the Raiders have one of the most promising offenses in the NFL.

Cooper Excited to Join Raiders

Cooper has expressed his excitement about joining the Raiders and is eager to get to work with Carr and the rest of the offense. The Raiders are hoping that Cooper can help them return to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
