Cooper, 30, was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the 2016 NFL Draft. He played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

He has spent the last three seasons in Cleveland and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2023. In six games this season, he has 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns.

Cooper now goes to the Bills, who are looking for help at WR, after trading WR Stefon Diggs in the offseason.

Andrew Berry, general manager for the Cleveland Browns, said this in a statement:

“We appreciate Amari’s hard work, professionalism and on-field contributions throughout his two plus seasons with us. He created many memorable moments with us and was an integral part of our 2023 playoff team. We wish him the best in Buffalo as he continues his NFL career.”
