Dallas Cowboys trade first-round pick to Oakland Raiders for Amari Cooper
FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys made a move to benefit quarterback Dak Prescott by acquiring wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders for a 2019 first-round pick.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie confirmed the trade Monday. Oakland will now have three first-round picks in 2019 after also getting the Chicago Bears' selection in last month's Khalil Mack trade.
Cooper, the fourth overall pick in the 2015 draft, has 22 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown in six games this season. He opened his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and made the Pro Bowl twice, but his numbers have fallen the past two seasons.
Cooper is set to play 2019 under a fifth-year option worth roughly $13.9 million.
Cooper is in the NFL's concussion protocol after suffering the injury Oct. 14 in Oakland's loss to Seattle in London.
