Amari Cooper is on the move for the fourth time in his National Football League career.
The former Alabama football standout is heading to a Super Bowl contender. According to Jordan Schultz, a Fox Sports NFL Insider, the Cleveland Browns have finalized a trade to send Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Cooper spent two full seasons with the Browns in 2022 and 2023, compiling back-to-back 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons with 14 touchdowns. He was with the Dallas Cowboys for three full seasons (2019-21) after being traded there from the Oakland Raiders after 52 games from 2015 to 2018.

Cooper, a former first-round pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and seven-time 1,000-plus yard receiver. He now joins forces with one of the NFL’s best young quarterbacks in Josh Allen. After it lost Stefan Diggs to the Houston Texans, the Bills bounce back with a marquee weapon in Cooper. He was a two-time SEC Champion (2012, 2014) and a BCS National Champion (2012) at Alabama. Cooper was also a Fred Biletnikoff Award winner, SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and Unanimous All-American in 2014 with the Crimson Tide. He is set to get the Bills over the hump to be a Super Bowl winner.
