Coop traded to Cowboys

Today the Oakland Raiders traded wide receiver #89 Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2019 first round pick. Congratulations Cowboys! 

Seems like just yesterday that we were penning our future hopes on the Carr to Cooper connection. With a 1 win, 5 loss record, the Raiders are obviously in fire sale mode. Coop has been one of the promising players we fans have hung our hats on last few seasons. With him gone and RB Marshawn Lynch out indefinitely with a hip injury, the Raiders season is a wrap. And if they don't do something quick with the O-Line, I expect to see QB Derek Carr go down with a season altering injury. I don't wish it, but there's that familiar chilling feeling in the autumn winds swirling around Carr of late. Could it be Trade Winds?

As with my feelings toward Khalil Mack after his departure to the Bears; I wish Amari Cooper all the best as he gets to showcase his talents with a middle of the pack team in the (3-4) Cowboys. This is no Javon Walker or Darius Heyward-Bey we're losing at wide receiver; this is Amari 'Frick'in' Cooper we're watching depart. Feels like Randy Moss just left the building; worse! 


Always A Raider Coop! Always a Raider 



WR Amari Cooper 
and the beat is dope!
