Subs traded for Browns WR Amari Cooper in blockbuster deal

It’s wide receiver trading day in the AFC East.

The Buffalo Bills have traded for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday.

Cleveland will receive third- and 2026 seventh-round picks from the Bills in exchange for Cooper, per Pelissero. Buffalo will also receive a 2025 sixth-round pick from the Browns in the deal, according to Pelissero. The Bills and Browns later confirmed the news.

“We appreciate Amari’s hard work, professionalism and contributions on the field during her two seasons with us,” Browns general manager Andrew Berry said in a statement. “He created many memorable moments with us and was an integral part of our 2023 playoff team. We wish him the best in Buffalo as he continues his NFL career.”

Pelissero added that $18.79 million of Cooper’s $20 million base salary for the 2024 season was converted into a signing bonus in March, making the deal more financially viable for the Bills, as they will be on the hook for just $806,667 to acquire Cooper who is being traded for the third time in his career.

The Cooper deal marks the second blockbuster transaction of the day after the New York Jets acquired Las Vegas wide receiver Davante Adams to reunite the former All-Pro with Aaron Rodgers.

Around The NFL will have more soon.
