Ex-Cowboys Superstar Wants to Sign with Eagles in Ultimate Revenge Move

Philadelphia, PA – May 23, 2025 – The rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys is one of the fiercest in the NFL, marked by decades of intense battles and deep-seated animosity. For a player to switch sides between these two teams is not just a career move—it’s a declaration of revenge, a chance to strike at the heart of a bitter enemy.

Amari Cooper, a former Cowboys superstar, is at the center of this potential drama, expressing his desire to join the Eagles after being traded by Dallas in 2022. During his time with the Cowboys, Cooper racked up 3,893 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns, but was dealt to the Cleveland Browns for two Day 3 picks.

Now a free agent after stints with the Browns and Buffalo Bills, Cooper sees the Eagles as the perfect stage to face his former team twice a year. “I want to show Dallas what they lost,” he told reporters, signaling his intent to make the Cowboys regret their decision.

The Eagles, fresh off their Super Bowl LIX victory, are an enticing destination for Cooper. With stars like Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith, the team’s high-volume offense could benefit from a veteran presence, especially if Jahan Dotson continues to struggle.

ClutchPoints’ Enzo Flojo noted, “Cooper can still win on intermediate routes and be a reliable third-down option.” His addition could provide depth and experience to an already potent passing attack led by Hurts and Brown.

Spotrac projects Cooper to sign a two-year, $37 million deal, though he may settle for less this late in the offseason. At 31, with five Pro Bowl selections, he remains a valuable asset for a contending team like the Eagles.

Fans on X are buzzing, with one Eagles supporter writing, “Cooper in Philly? That’s a dagger to Dallas!” A Cowboys fan countered, “He’ll regret leaving—George Pickens is our future now,” highlighting the rivalry’s intensity.

Set to face the Cowboys on September 4, the Eagles could gain a significant edge with Cooper’s signing, adding fuel to the NFC East rivalry as they chase Super Bowl LX in the Philly Special Era.
