Shannon Sharpe mentioned, “We saw what Dak [Prescott] was before he got Amari [Cooper]. You were waiting for CeeDee [Lamb] to do what Amari did for Dak. Have you seen that? I have not. There’s no question in my mind… I mean, you talk about possibly; Would you even be thinking about Odell if you had Amari?”

Sharpe pointed out that the Cowboys’ wide receivers are next to the bottom of the league. They weren’t present when Cooper was there; it listed them in a super high position. He also believes that to let CeeDee Lamb ascend, they had to allow Amari Cooper to wither away.

Amari Cooper had great responsibilities in the winning sweep against the Bengals. He has put on a productive show since his arrival. Moreover, with Dallas struggling for some receiver help, it might be a loss for the Blue Star to trade him off.

Amari Cooper blew up his own trick shot during the Browns-Bengals game

There’s no doubt that Nick Chubb and Amari Cooper clinched Cleveland’s victory against Cin City. However, Cooper also made one of the worst-looking trick plays in league history. During the second drive, the Browns receiver threw a pick that got intercepted by Bengals defensive back Vonn Bell. It was frustrating for Cooper, who expressed his thoughts over the intercepted drive.

The Browns WR mentioned in the post-game media scrum that It was an abomination. Cooper did not know how difficult it was to let go of it. When he peered, it was in the hands of the opposition. It was dreadful.

Nevertheless, the play would be a teachable moment on how not to mess up a drive.
