The Buffalo Bills have acquired veteran wideout Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills confirmed Tuesday that they will receive Cooper and a sixth-round draft selection in 2025 in exchange for a third-round pick in 2025 and a seventh-rounder in 2026.
The move comes one day after the Bills’ 23-20 victory against the New York Jets, who also upgraded their receivers room Tuesday by trading for Davante Adams.
Cooper, 30, is a five-time Pro Bowl selection with seven career 1,000-yard seasons. He has 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns in six starts this season with the Browns (1-5).
The move gives Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen a marquee receiver to replace the departed Stefon Diggs, who was traded to the Houston Texans in April.
Tight end Dalton Kincaid leads the Bills (4-2) with 21 receptions and wide receiver Khalil Shakir leads the team with 249 receiving yards on 20 catches.
Over 10 NFL seasons, Cooper has 691 catches for 9,736 yards and 62 touchdowns in 146 games (139 starts) with the then-Oakland Raiders (2015-18), Dallas Cowboys (2018-21) and Browns.
Cooper is in the final season of a five-year, $100 million contract signed with the Cowboys in 2020. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
