A few hours ago I was blissfully cruising east at about 31,000 feet above the earth, leaving a wonderful week in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine behind me. I was looking forward to a quiet Friday afternoon — and more than a few salads — before getting back to the daily grind.
Then I landed and checked my phone.
Twitter was ablaze with the reporting that the Dallas Cowboys were going to look to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper, and potentially release him outright if a deal could not be reached.
So much for best-laid plans.
However, this was not something that came out of left field. As has been reported and outlined in recent weeks, the Cowboys enter the off-season in a difficult financial position, and tough decisions lie in front of them.
Given the news, we can take some time and dive into what Cooper offers as a receiver, and some potential landing spots.
