Buffalo Bills trade for WR Amari Cooper in deal with Cleveland Browns
Cooper has 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns this season in Cleveland.
The Buffalo Bills have acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third-round pick, the teams announced Tuesday.
The Browns will also receive a seventh-round pick in 2026, while the Bills acquire a sixth-round pick in 2025 in addition to Cooper.
In six games so far this season, Cooper has 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. Cooper’s 10.4 yards per catch average is the lowest of his career.
Buffalo is 4-2 and in first place in the AFC East, but its passing attack has taken a step back from last year. Quarterback Josh Allen is averaging only 193.3 yards per game passing after averaging 253.3 a season ago.
After trading receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason, the Bills have tried to replace his production in the aggregate. They have three pass catchers with over 200 yards, but nobody on pace for 1,000 for the season. Two of Buffalo’s top four players in receiving yards are a tight end and a running back.
