The Buffalo Bills have landed a new wide receiver in a trade.
The deal involves Cleveland getting Buffalo’s third-round pick, while the Bills acquire a sixth-round pick from Cleveland, along with a 2026 seventh-round pick. This trade equates to a third-round compensatory pick value.
With a strong track record including over 48 yards per game in his career and consistent scoring ability, Cooper presents a solid addition for the Bills, especially considering his financial fit on a restructured contract.
Cooper's arrival is expected to replace Mack Hollins as a starter, enhancing the team's receiving capability amidst a struggling group.
Cooper expressed enthusiasm about playing with QB Josh Allen, highlighting his respect for Allen's game and excitement to contribute to the team.
The Bills will incur limited costs for Cooper since his salary has been prepaid by the Browns, meaning Buffalo is only responsible for the NFL minimum.
This trade adds to general manager Brandon Beane's history of in-season trades, noting previous dealings with players like Rasul Douglas and Kelvin Benjamin.
