Former Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper will be traded by the Dallas Cowboys to the Cleveland Browns, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
The trade will consists of the team’s swapping sixth-round picks, and Dallas gaining an additional fifth-round pick from Cleveland.
Cooper was reportedly set to soon be released by the Cowboys, who were unable to find a trade parter. He was tied to numerous teams such as the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and the New York Jets among others.
Originally drafted No. 4 overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2015, Cooper spent four seasons there before being traded to the Cowboys.
Cleveland was in need of a big-time wide receiver capable of leading a unit. The franchise lost star Odell Beckham, who ultimately won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams.
Cowboys are finalizing a trade to send WR Amari Cooper and a sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick, per league sources.
