The then-Oakland Raiders selected Cooper with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He has split his 7 professional seasons between the Raiders and Cowboys, landing with Dallas in a 2018 mid-season trade for a first-round pick. Cooper has played in 108 games in his NFL career, recorded 517 catches for 7,076 yards and 46 touchdowns. His most productive year came in 2019 with the Cowboys, when he caught 79 passes for 1,189 yards and 8 TDs. This past season, Cooper recorded 68 receptions for 865 yards and 8 TDs.
Last week, news broke that Dallas planned to part with Cooper to avoid paying him $20 million in 2022.
