Jason Garrett says 1st Rd. pick is what he “costs”

Speaking Tuesday on 103.5 The Fan in Dallas, coach Jason Garrett defended paying such a high price for Amari Cooper — a receiver who is amid another struggling season.

“That’s what a player like him costs you,” Garrett said, via NFL Network’s Jane Slater.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Cooper’s recent struggles and the cost-increase next year make this a questionable decision, but it undoubtedly adds to the value of Cooper and the Dallas offensive, notably Dak Prescott. and Garrett vehemently defending the decision makes it more likely Cooper will be immediately involved in the Week 9 game plan.
