A win/win for both teams.
IIRC that pick turned into Josh Jacobs.
Cooper put up huge numbers, got himself a big contract.
But did the Cowboys win playoffs games since that trade?
Only been a couple of years so we will see in the next few years if he makes a difference in games which count.
Likewise, jury is still out on whether Mack will make a difference to the franchise. He's certainly won games for the Bears and put up great numbers.
Of course these huge contracts rarely turn the franchise around. Watt's deal didn't. Nor did all the big contracts that ARod got.
Mahomes may win again but he may win before his huge contract kicks in in 2022. Because by then, the Chiefs may have to cut some other stars or decline to keep them.
Rams gave a lot for Ramsey. Not even clear they will give him a huge extension.
