In a surprising mid-season move, the Buffalo Bills have traded wide receiver Amari Cooper back to the Dallas Cowboys, reuniting him with his former team. The decision comes amidst a wave of personnel changes and a need to recalibrate Buffalo’s offensive lineup following injuries and inconsistent performances.
The trade returns Cooper to Dallas, where he previously played from 2018 to 2021. Known for his ability to make big plays and stretch the field, Cooper quickly became a fan favorite during his time with the Cowboys and formed a strong connection with quarterback Dak Prescott. His trade to Buffalo was originally seen as a strategic move to bolster the Bills’ passing game, adding another weapon alongside Stefon Diggs. However, with Buffalo’s offense struggling to find consistency, the organization decided to make a change.
For Dallas, the return of Cooper couldn’t come at a better time. The Cowboys are in the thick of the playoff hunt and looking for an experienced receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. Dallas is hoping that Cooper’s familiarity with the team and Prescott’s play style will allow him to make an immediate impact.
Buffalo, meanwhile, will gain draft picks and additional salary cap flexibility from the trade, allowing them to pursue other roster needs.
