Cooper was traded to the Browns for a 2025 sixth-round pick, while the Bills sent a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick.
Cooper is pleased with his new circumstances after the Browns went from a 1-5 record to a 4-2 Bills club.
It’s simply the sensation of starting over, of having a new beginning, of having a blank canvas on which to write your own fate, you know?” Cooper stated at a press conference on Wednesday.
Cooper caught 24 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns in six games while playing with the Browns. No other wide receiver on the Bills has those numbers.
Cooper also leads the NFL in dropped passes this season, which is unusual. In his ten-year career, the outstanding wide receiver has never had more than 12 drops in a season.
After the Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in the offseason, Josh Allen now has a real number one wide receiver, something they have been lacking all season.
