The Cowboys plan to try to trade Cooper before the start of the new league year March 16, but if no deal is reached, the wideout is likely to be released, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.
If the 27-year-old ends up being cut, the wideout would count $6 million against the Cowboys' salary cap in 2022 versus $22 million otherwise. Cooper is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he caught 68 passes (on 104 targets) for 865 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games. If the Cowboys indeed part ways with Cooper, CeeDee Lamb would profile as the offense's top receiver option, while the team could elect to focus on re-signing Michael Gallup (knee), who is bouncing back from a torn ACL.
