Almost everyone had the same reaction when they heard the news. The Cowboys did what? That was the mild version for many Cowboys fans. When the news broke that the Dallas Cowboys had traded their first-round pick in 2019 draft for wide receiver Amari Cooper Taco Charlton Jersey , the disbelief and anger was palpable. The media hammered Jerry Jones for what they believed was another desperate and ill-advised gamble on a wide receiver. The names Joey Galloway and Roy Williams were brought up over and over.Here are a few reactions for example:Good times!Anyway, fast forward to now. Bill Barnwell over at ESPN put together a list of the 30 trades over the past 365 days that had the most impact. He also threw in a grade for each trade. The Cowboys trade for Cooper didn’t top the list, that honor went to the Chicago Bears for acquiring Khalil Mack. Instead, the Cooper trade was ranked number two on the list in terms of impact.Jerry Jones was vindicated. Even though it’s kind of painful to go through the 2019 offseason knowing there won’t be a first-round pick Womens Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , if you just put it in your mind that Cooper was that pick, it goes down easier. Those numbers for Prescott with and without Cooper are amazing. Sometimes you put together a quarterback and a wide receiver and they just don’t mesh. The chemistry is off. Not so with Prescott and Cooper who have clicked from the moment Cooper arrived. In fact, you have to wonder how much impact this trade will have on Prescott’s long-term prospects. If the 2018 season had continued to derail and the offense had continued to sputter the way it did pre-Cooper, Prescott’s prospects might be in peril. You never know because we can’t rewind the season and see what would have happened Leighton Vander Esch Jersey White , but ever since Cooper showed up, Prescott has looked like a different quarterback. Or, rather, he’s looked more like 2016/early-2017 Prescott. The Cowboys must now get Cooper signed to a long-term deal. There is no rush Dak Prescott Jersey White , but in order for this trade to truly work out, they need Cooper to sign a second contract that keeps him in Dallas during his prime years. Tuesday brought word that Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys were close to finalizing a six-year, $90 million contract extension and Wednesday morning brought reports that the deal was done.In what the Cowboys called “the post you’ve all been waiting for” on the Twitter account, the team has now officially announced that they’ve come to an agreement with their star running back. Elliott is expected at the team’s facility to take a physical and practice with designs on playing against the Giants in Week One.The full details of the deal are pending Womens Emmitt Smith Jersey , but multiple reports have the total guaranteed money at $50 million. That’s the most of any running back in the NFL and the average annual salary of the extension also puts Elliott in the top spot. Elliott is tied to the Cowboys for eight years overall as he’s under contract for 2019 and the Cowboys already exercised their option on his contract for 2020.That happened despite the Cowboys saying they weren’t going to reset the running back market with an Elliott deal, but it became clear some time ago that nothing less than the top spot was going to get Elliott into a uniform to start the season. Now we’ll see if they’re also able to get deals done with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper after a long offseason of contract talk concerning three of their offensive stars.
