My buddy who is a Browns fan still thinks cooper is very good.

 

He's had Watson throwing to him.  He's going to be excellent w/ Allen throwing to him and in this offense.

 

This is great news.  Our offense will be very different now, imo. This opens things up for the other guys as well.

Getting 1200 yards out of that

Amazing how much swapping out one player on offense (Hollins) changes the outlook for this offense.

I'm not a Browns fan and I know he's very good

This was the move, not Adams.  

 

Good stuff, Beane.

I am, WR is not going to be the reason this team finally beats KC or beats the Ravens in the playoffs.

 

If the browns draft a big time player with that pick next year I will be sick.  If Cooper fits in and plays hard and helps this team get over the hump I will be the first to tell you I was wrong.  

 

I just think giving up a third round pick is way too much.

You think the browns are getting a big time player in the third? The browns draft history is here

Imagine Myles Garrett as a Bill….?

 

like this trade. Didn’t complain once this season or last with DeShaun “throwing” him the ball.  Won’t upset the locker room and be a distraction. 

Read an article yesterday that the Browns should trade Garrett, Cooper and even Denzel Ward so they can build a roster that isn’t capped by the other high salary guys outside Watson; seeing as they are clearly sticking with him.

And you know who didn’t get him - Chiefs!!!!   (Might be why we shipped a 3rd). 

Bingo

[Ethan in Cleveland]

All of us that said the WR group wasn't good enough are vindicated!!!

No more excuses for this coaching staff! 

AFC Championship appearance or bust!

From Wikipedia:

 

"Cooper is an avid chess player. He was first captivated by the game as an elementary school student in northwest Miami, and as a football player, he relates chess strategies to his play on the field. He played in Chess.com's BlitzChamps, a rapid tournament for NFL players, and came in second place behind Chidobe Awuzie."

Ward is damaged goods. He is as fragile as Tua.

Cooper

Now we’re talking.

Can’t believe people in here are mad. First it’s “where are Allen’s weapons”. Now’s it’s “we gave it too much”. Like cmon, a third isn’t that bad. We still got two seconds next year as well.

We essentially gave up Diggs and a 3rd,2026 7th  for Cooper and a 2nd,5th and 6th..

Love it!

Yea I get it. Guess I was hoping we could still get him for a 5th being a one year rental. 

 

Not upset. Still pumped. 

I think the 5th was abnormally low because he had a 3 year 60 mill contract at the time that they took on. Dallas traded a 1st for him in 2018. A 3rd for that salary and where he is age wise is about right. 

[Sabres 2025]

Amari Cooper is exactly what the Bills needed. They needed a guy that helps them jump from and AFC East winning team to a potential Super Bowl winning team. He will be a major difference maker in the playoffs.  

 

Go Bills.
