Amari Cooper Traded to Cleveland Browns for Multiple Draft Picks

Star Wide Receiver Heads to Ohio After Four Seasons in Dallas

Deal Bolsters Browns' Offense, Depletes Cowboys' Receiving Corps

In a blockbuster trade that shook the NFL landscape, the Cleveland Browns have acquired star wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2022 fifth-round draft pick and a 2023 sixth-round draft pick.

Cooper, a four-time Pro Bowler, joins a Browns team that is looking to make a playoff run in 2022. The 27-year-old wideout has been a consistent performer throughout his career, averaging over 1,000 receiving yards per season since 2018. He is expected to be a key target for quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was acquired by the Browns in a separate trade earlier this offseason.

For the Cowboys, the trade of Cooper marks the end of an era. Cooper was drafted by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft and quickly became one of the team's most reliable pass-catchers. He played a key role in the Cowboys' success during the 2018 and 2019 seasons, when the team won back-to-back NFC East titles.

The Browns are hoping that Cooper can help them reach the next level. The team has not made the playoffs since 2020 and is looking to snap a streak of 17 straight seasons without a playoff victory. Cooper will be counted on to be a leader in the Browns' receiving corps and help the team make a deep playoff run.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, will have to find a way to replace Cooper's production. The team has a number of young receivers on the roster, but none have the experience or実績 of Cooper. The Cowboys may look to the free agent market or the draft to add a veteran receiver to help fill the void.
