The Oakland Raiders have reportedly agreed to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2019 first round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cooper, who suffered a concussion during Oakland's loss to Seattle in London on October 14, has just 22 catches for 280 yards and one touchdown in six games this season. The 24-year old wide receiver earned Pro Bowl honors in his first two seasons with Oakland, racking up more than 1,000 receiving yards in both years, but his 2017 struggles have continued into this season.
As a result of today's trade, the Raiders will now have three first round picks in 2019 - their own, the Raiders', and the Bears' pick which they acquired via the Khalil Mack deal. The Raiders, coming off a bye week, are 1-5 as they head into a Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are coming off a devastating loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, which puts them at 3-4 on the season. Dallas has a bye in Week 8 and will host the Tennessee Titans on Monday night in Week 9.
