Amari Cooper is reportedly about to hit free agency, so it begs the question of whether or not the Las Vegas Raiders should bring him back.

If the recent reports are true, the release of Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys is not a matter of if, but when.

The 27-year-old wide receiver from a statistical standpoint has been stellar with the Cowboys, although maybe inconsistent at times. This is a narrative that Raider Nation is all too familiar with when it comes to the former top-five pick.

With such a hefty price tag, Cooper may have not lived up to the five-year, $100-million contract the Cowboys awarded him – but one man’s loss will be another one’s gain, as it seems the former Raiders receiver will be available this offseason.

There are several reasons to pose the argument for and against bringing Cooper back to the Silver and Black, but in this article, we will discuss the reasons for bringing back the talented receiver.
