Brought in a guy wanting to prove his worth and let go of a guy that needed a change of scenery too I think that’s a big deal on top of just the raw compensation too 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) 21 minutes ago, NoName said: Amari cooper is a big name but I don’t really know his game. Can someone tell us what kind of player are we getting? His strengths and weaknesses? 5 Pro Bowls. A 265 yard game against the Texans in December of 2023 so not over-the-hill yet. Decent speed (4.42), good agility & route running. Can line up in any of the WR slots and create separation. Has problems with drops (9 this year already, 7 last year, 11 the year before)... some injury issues... What am I missing? Edited October 15 by hondo in seattle 2 Quote

Dewayne Carter Dorian Williams Terrel Bernard Spencer Brown pretty good players. Hopefully Cooper is great and will make me forget it cost us 3rd. Think of the Vikings #2 pick we have next year as a high 3rd 🙃 1 Quote
HansLanda Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Cooper is going to get probably one more chance at a multi-year deal after this season, OR, he will be a mercenary by way of one-year deals. So there is very little risk here and possible two or three more years if things work well. 1 Quote

papazoid Posted October 15 Posted October 15 what is going on ?? everyone seems to like this move....lol Quote

We are on borrowed time with how many elite years we have with josh allen. the bills need to be in win now mode, not trying to devise a 5 year plan. we have a ton of draft picks next year as well, and getting comp picks. Couldn’t have said it better. We want to keep Josh happy in the remaining years we have with him. Keep giving him elite weapons. 1 Quote

We will be seeing the best version of Amari Cooper, imo. 9 Quote

I'd be fine if they keep 6 WR and cut Morris. No both will be kept. Samuel balled out yesterday too. If anything, gore will be sent back down to PS. Quote

But the last time he traded a third in season, he got Rasul Douglas, and he moved the needle enough to get us into the playoffs under difficult circumstances. I feel better if I think of it that way. It helps that we still have a 3rd. 2 Quote
MikePJ76 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: You know what man, you're allowed to have the contrarian opinion. I respect it. But in this case the reason we had to give a 3rd is because the Browns are eating all of the money. We are paying for the low cost as much as we are the player. Leading the league in drops is a valid concern. But that also means he is in positions where he is open enough to have the ball hit him in the hands. So that is still an upgrade on what we have at outside WR now. Cooper is clearly an upgrade at the biggest need on our roster. No brainer move. no doubt he is the best wr on the team. I am not questioning that. I also layed out that I do understand why he cost a 3rd, I get it. i just hate trading away top 3 picks even when we have extras. Also I am a little nervous he shows up a few weeks from now with some minor injury and starts not practicing and then ends up questionable every week. that is my big concern with the player. on the field if healthy and 100% into win, he will be a big difference maker. This team is built to run the ball and if they continue to that cooper, shakir, kincaid and the backs can make the passing game go. I am not of this opinion to be a contrarian, if you look at my posts here you will see I am pretty consistent with my opinion on trading for wr as the savior, I have never been a fan of it and prefer to build the team in the draft. 1 3 Quote
