Cooper is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, but Dallas didn’t want to carry his salary of $20 million guaranteed for the coming year.
Cowboys executive Stephen Jones was noncommittal last Monday at the NFL scouting combine when asked about Cooper’s future with the team.
“We’re continuing to have conversations,” Jones said. “A lot of things affect that. … There are some moving parts to that that we’ll have to continue to massage as we move forward.”
Multiple teams had interest in Cooper, but Cleveland ultimately got the deal done.
There’s hope that the two sides can negotiate a more cap-friendly contract.
