Twitter: One year ago today, Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper

[J12B]

Great, great, trade.

And to think, nearly everyone was saying we gave up way too much.

Amari has been nothing short but amazing for us. The chemistry between him and Dak is nothing short of phenomenal and I didn't even see the trade working out that well for us. Raiders really did us a favor.

Wasn't happy then but sure am now.

 

[cowboyblue22]

was a great trade for the cowboys

 

[Dallasfann]

Where is Sydla at? LOL

 

[MarcusRock]

Horrible trade! Horrible! Rue-age I say. RUE-AGE!!!

Oh, wait.

I said it then and I'll say it now. You only trade away a first round pick during the season if you think you are one piece away from a SB run.

We did it to save the season. And save Jason Garrett's job.

Neither of those reasons makes the cut.

WOW. Time sure flies by! I recall a friend of mine whose a huge Raiders fan saying "you can have him, we got ANNNNTONIO". Funny thing, subject was never brought up again.

We probably would have reached for Trystan Hill with that first pick.

I’m eating crow! He’s been a great player and even more than I could have asked for. Couldn’t be more happy to be wrong.

well you were wrong then and you’re wrong now. The coop trade was amazing

And still not signed for next year.

 

[Fontaine]

Hated the trade at the time. Couldn’t be happier to be so wrong about something in my life. Great trade by Jerry, McClay, Stephen, whoever.

There’s some pure gold here:

“Consider it a monumental failure if we gave up more than a 3rd round draft pick”.
lol

Absolutely hated the trade when I first heard about it. Rationalized it for about a week and came to the opinion that it was a really good trade.
Same thing with drafting Jaylon Smith. Thought it was a stupid pick on draft day, rationalized it for a day, and then saw it as a stroke of genius.

One of the best trades in Cowboys history. I always have doubts when trading a 1st rd pick away but this has been a very good deal for Dallas and with a player who is still young and can help this team for a good while

That is an 80-page thread. Is there a way I can search that thread to see what I posted there?

We also did it because it was our single biggest need and we were looking at a weak WR class in the draft.

Damn, a year ago already?? Time flies.

Glad Coop is a Cowboy. Hope he stays one for years to come.
