Orchard Park, NY — The receiving corps for the Buffalo Bills is set to be enhanced following their recent trade with the Cleveland Browns for wide receiver Amari Cooper, according to an insider familiar with the transaction. The trade was confirmed on Tuesday, with the Bills parting with a third-round pick in the 2025 draft, along with a swap of late-round selections. This news comes on the heels of the Bills securing a 23-20 victory over the New York Jets, which helped them strengthen their position at the top of the AFC East with a 4-2 record.

In addition to acquiring Cooper, Buffalo received a sixth-round pick for 2025 while sending a seventh-round pick for 2026 to Cleveland. Amari Cooper, now 30 years old, is navigating his tenth season in the league and his third with the Browns. This season, Cooper has encountered challenges alongside his teammates under quarterback Deshaun Watson, contributing 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns—both scored during a game against the New York Giants in Week 3. His performance has seen a decline recently, managing only 12 catches and 137 yards in his last three games.

With his arrival in Buffalo, Cooper joins an offense led by quarterback Josh Allen, which has been searching for reliable receiving options after trading away Stefon Diggs to Houston during the offseason and losing their second option, Gabe Davis, to free agency. Furthermore, the timing of this trade is notable, as it follows the New York Jets making their own offensive upgrade by acquiring receiver Davante Adams from Las Vegas just hours earlier.
