Deshaun Watson\u2018s two-year tenure with the Browns has not gone as planned, but\u00a0Amari Cooper\u00a0has proven to be an effective addition to the team\u2019s offense over that same span. The latter has one year remaining on his contract, setting himself up for a potential free-agent period in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, he may have a new Browns deal in place by that point. Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry recently spoke about Cooper, who is set to carry a cap hit of $23.78M in 2024 and an additional $7.55M the following season due to the void years present on his deal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cCoop\u2019s a Pro Bowl caliber receiver,\u201d Berry said (via Keith Britton of 92.3 The Fan). \u201cHe\u2019s played really well for us the past two years. He\u2019s a strong presence in the locker room. We love him. Players like that, you want to make sure that you can retain as long as possible.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No reports have indicated player or team are eyeing a round of contract talks in Cooper\u2019s case. Given Berry\u2019s stance, though, it would certainly come as little surprise if negotiations took place aimed at keeping the 29-year-old in the fold for years to come. Cooper has produced a 150-2,410-14 statline between his two Browns campaigns, operating as the team\u2019s clear-cut top receiving option. That is noteworthy considering Cleveland\u2019s\u00a0efforts to trade for\u00a0Calvin Ridley before ultimately sending the Cowboys a fifth-round pick (along with a swap of sixth-rounders) to acquire Cooper.<\/p>\n

The five-time Pro Bowler will still face major expectations in 2024 considering his pedigree, but Cleveland has made a major addition at the WR spot. The Browns brought in Jerry Jeudy this offseason, acquiring the former Broncos first-rounder\u00a0for a pair of Day 3 picks. That move was followed in short order by a restructure along with a\u00a0three-year extension\u00a0being worked out, the value of which could reach $58M.<\/p>\n

As a result of the investment made in Jeudy (along with Watson and tight end David Njoku, who is on the books for two more seasons), a new Cooper deal would further complicate the Browns\u2019 financial picture on offense. The latter is due $20M this season, and an extension would no doubt keep him near the top of the receiver market. Plenty of time remains for negotiations to take place, and it will be interesting to see if either party proceeds in that direction during the offseason or as the 2024 campaign unfolds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
