Analyst reveals why Amari Cooper is a likely trade candidate

The Cleveland Browns’ problems continue.

Kevin Stefanski’s team has fallen to 1-3 this season and their postseason chances are dwindling.

That makes her a potential seller as the team approaches the trade deadline.

Of course, that also means that wide receiver Amari Cooper may be playing his final games for the organization.

As Spotrac pointed out on X, the way the Browns restructured his contract makes him a very affordable player for other teams.

They converted all but $1.2 million of his 2024 salary into a signing bonus.

Whoever gets him now would only have to pay $941,111, with that number dropping to $605,000 by the trade deadline.

The Browns appeared ready to move on from Cooper this offseason.

They didn’t sign him to the long-term deal he was looking for, and with Jerry Jeudy playing well to start the season, they could look to offload their veteran and recoup some draft capital for his services.

Cooper is a proven talent in this league and there should be plenty of takers interested in taking on him, even though he’s had a slow start to the season.

The Browns just can’t seem to get anything going on offense, and given their schedule, it wouldn’t be shocking if they had a losing record before the trade deadline.

Hopefully that’s not the case, but if they’re not anywhere close to .500, Cooper will most likely be on his way out of Ohio.
