Buffalo Bills Trade for WR Amari Cooper, Sending 2025 Third-Round Pick to Browns

Oct 15, 2024, 06:16 PM

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, according to multiple sources. The trade involves the Bills receiving Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, while the Browns will receive a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick. The move comes after the Browns restructured Cooper's contract before the season, converting the majority of his salary to a signing bonus, which made him an attractive acquisition and facilitated the trade. Cooper is in the final year of his deal and had received multiple offers from teams in recent weeks. The acquisition of Cooper addresses the Bills' need for additional offensive weapons for quarterback Josh Allen. Cooper, a four-time Pro Bowl selection with 174 catches, 2,660 yards, and 16 touchdowns during his tenure with the Browns, is expected to become a key target in the Bills' passing game. The Browns, currently at a record of 1-5, are believed to be making strategic moves for future draft capital.
