Yesterday marked the end of wide receiver Amari Cooper’s career with the Cleveland Browns and it was a move that was quite easy to see coming with how this season has gone.
After a 1-5 start to the season, the Browns were forced to begin selling. The first player moved was Cooper and it marked the end of his time in Cleveland after spending nearly 2 and a half seasons with the Browns. Cooper was shipped to the Bills for a middle round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Now that Cooper is no longer with the Browns, it is time to look at the fact that the Browns fleeced the Cowboys once again. Cleveland giving up essentially just a fifth-round pick will always be wild.
Amari Cooper produced just like the Browns needed him to
Coming over from the Cowboys, Cooper was the exact No. 1 wideout the Browns needed. The Alabama product is easily the best Browns wide receiver in recent memory and he should be remembered as that, not the tough play leading up to his trade.
In his first season with Cleveland, Cooper led the team with 1,160 receiving yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. Last season, the Pro Bowl wideout recorded 1,250 yards, which was a career-high for him. Cleveland was really able to unlock Cooper down the field in the set of games that Joe Flacco started for the Browns.
Cooper was the exact wideout that the Browns needed and he put together some of his best NFL seasons in Northeast Ohio.
The Browns received more back than what they paid for Cooper
Cleveland was able to get a third-round pick for Cooper and a late pick. That was a win for the Browns, whose season is already over it appears. Clebesldn was comfortable moving Cooper even though he is their top wide receiver, and that tells you everything you need to know about what the team is going to do this season.
Cooper coming to Cleveland and having some of his best years helped the Browns flip him for more than what they paid. The Bills needing help at wideout was a part of the reasoning too, but the Browns were always getting more than what they paid for.
Cooper was well-liked in Cleveland and Browns fans will wish him well in Buffalo. For the Browns, they are just heading in a different direction now.
