CeeDee Lamb is great, but the Cowboys are worse off without Amari Cooper

The Cowboys have made their bed, it’s uncomfortable, and now they have to lie in it.

Amari Cooper will no longer wear the famous blue star on his helmet, who was traded to the Browns on Saturday afternoon. And while stars like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Zack Martin are still Cowboys, it’s fair to question whether Dallas can survive without every possible great playmaker at their disposal. At least, if they’re following any higher ambitions.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Cowboys have +1200 odds to win Super Bowl 57 next February. That places them in a favorable but somewhat longshot eighth (behind the Bengals, 49ers, Broncos, Rams, Packers, Chiefs, and Bills). On a slightly smaller scale, they have the fourth-best odds to win the NFC at +650. Also, quite acceptable! You might be wondering what the catch is. There has to be a but.
