That is SUCH a bad trade for the Cowboys, regardless of how Cooper performs. They receive Cooper for the remainder of this year at a good rate ($700k), but have to pay him $14 million next year. Then he becomes a free agent and they'll have to pay full market value to keep him at that point. So basically when the cost/cap impact are considered, they're really getting very little real "value" out of him (he'll either be overpaid or paid at full market value after this year).
In exchange they give up what is likely to be a mid-first round pick, and the years of cost control they'll receive over the chosen player. Bad move.
