The Dallas Cowboys made a move to benefit quarterback Dak Prescott by acquiring wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders for a 2019 first-round pick. Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie confirmed the trade Monday. Oakland will now have three first-round picks in 2019 after also getting the Chicago Bears’ selection in last month’s Khalil Mack trade. Cooper, the fourth overall pick in the 2015 draft, has 22 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown in six games this season. He opened his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and made the Pro Bowl twice, but his numbers have fallen the past two years.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are sticking with quarterback Blake Bortles. Coach Doug Marrone announced Monday evening that Bortles would remain the team’s starter for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia in London, though a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that backup Cody Kessler will see some first-team reps in practice and Bortles will be on “a short leash” against the Eagles.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said Monday that he would like to stay in the only locker room he has known in his nine-year NFL career but has heard talk of a potential trade “the whole season.” Thomas said he has seen the report the Broncos are listening to trade offers from several teams. After a tough start to the season when Thomas had five drops in the first two games, he has had just one in the past five games.
