Throughout Dak Prescott’s run as starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, the team has gone out and landed multiple high-level receivers to pair with him. With training camp just around the corner, one of his old top targets is projected to land with a different NFC contender.
Heading into the 2025 season, Prescott finds himself with a new pair of dynamic receivers to throw to. Along with star wideout CeeDee Lamb, Dallas made a shocking move in the offseason by trading for George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, for the first time since 2021, Prescott finds himself with a WR duo capable of being one of the league’s top pairings.
In a recent column for Bleacher Report, Moe Moton laid out an array of bold predictions across the NFL. Among the things he mentioned was veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper landing a deal with the LA Rams.

“This offseason, the Rams signed Davante Adams to a two-year deal after they released Cooper Kupp. Puka Nacua and Adams have taken snaps out of the slot, which leaves a spot open for another splashy move at the position,” Moton wrote. “At 31, coming off a down year, Amari Cooper isn’t going to break the bank in his first offseason as a free agent. As a perennial postseason contender, the Rams could appeal to the five-time Pro Bowler who may want a chance to play in the Super Bowl at this stage in his career.”
After starting out his career with the then-Oakland Raiders, Cooper was traded to the Cowboys midway through the 2018 season. He’d go on to spend three more years with the franchise, securing a Pro Bowl nod in 2019. This would end up being his best individual season in Dallas, recording 1,189 yards and eight touchdowns. Cooper’s time with the Cowboys came to an end in the 2022 offseason when he was traded to the Cleveland Browns for a pair of draft picks.

2024 wasn’t a great year for Cooper, but he is still someone worth taking a flyer on. He isn’t far removed from playing at an elite level, as he recorded over 1,200 yards and secured Pro-Bowl honors in 2023. Also, if any team were going to help him have a resurgence, it’d be the Rams playing with a quarterback like Matthew Stafford.
Still without a home at the moment, only time will tell if a team ends up taking a flier on Cooper to see if he can put together a bounce-back season.
