Only a few days later, NFL insider Josina Anderson said the Cowboys won’t make an immediate move when it comes to the Pro Bowl wideout. They’re going to take their time on what to do with him.

On Friday morning, ESPN’s Ed Werder had an update on this situation. It turns out the Cowboys are still exploring all their options.

“Team still working on Amari Cooper options while hoping a new contract for Michael Gallup is soon finished,” Werder announced on Twitter.
