The Bulls have trouble beating the NBA’s best teams, plus other best bets for the weekend

There’s an interesting new name about to hit the wide receiver free-agent market. Reports surfaced Friday that the Cowboys are planning to release Amari Cooper if they can’t find a trade partner for him. Considering the $20 million due to Cooper later this month, it’s hard to imagine they’ll find somebody willing to trade for him when they can just wait and try to sign him for less.

Regardless of the salary, Cooper is an exciting name to add to the market. Chris Godwin is the biggest name right now, but he’s coming off a torn ACL, and there’s no guarantee he’ll be ready for the 2022 season. Then there’s Mike Williams, but most expect the Chargers to franchise him.

Cooper might become the most attractive option out there once he’s available. While he might seem older because he’s been in the league for seven seasons, Cooper will only be 28 in June. He’s also shown to be durable, appearing in 112 games (including the postseason) over those seven years. He should have plenty of suitors.

Now let’s try and raise some funds to sign Amari Cooper.
