Amari Cooper doesn't seem overly concerned about his contract situation.

The Cowboys' star receiver, who Dallas traded this year's first-round pick for last October, is entering the final year of his rookie deal.

"It's kind of weird situation, just being that I've never been in this situation before, talking about a contract," Cooper said Saturday while attending 105.3 The Fan's Mudbug Bash in Arlington. "But also, I'm under a fifth-year option, so I'm not too familiar with it. I really don't ask my agent many questions. I'm not really worried about it that much.

"I'm more focused on actually playing and really earning the respect and then the contract."

Dallas executive vice president Stephen Jones said last week that talks are active with Cooper's representatives. The Cowboys have made it clear that they traded a first-round pick because they envision Cooper being part of their long-term plans.

Cooper said Jones recently talked to him briefly about his contract while at The Star.

"My agent has probably talked to me three or four times about where we are in the process," Cooper said. "I really don't think about it much. I feel like we have time. ... I feel like they're active about it and they want to get it done."

The final year of Cooper's contract will pay him $13.9 million for the 2019 season. A new deal would likely bump that average over $16 million annually.

Cleveland's Odell Beckham Jr. tops the receiver market, averaging $18 million per season. Antonio Brown's new deal with the Raiders has him averaging $16.7 million.

"The market has gone up, which is a good thing," Cooper said. "I'm happy about that. I feel like we're in a good place. I just feel blessed."
