It feels like forever ago, and in a lot of ways, it was.
The Browns got a Day 2 pick for the aging wideout , and while Cooper didn’t play great in Buffalo, he still had a little gas in the tank. Cooper was out of the NFL in 2025 after retiring from the Las Vegas Raiders. He signed in Vegas after his contract with the Bills expired.
Now that the trade is completely in the books, it’s time to look back on the deal. Original terms of the Amari Cooper trade to the Bills Browns receive: 2025 third-round pick, 2026 seventh-round pick Bills receive: Amari Cooper, 2025 sixth-round pick What did the Browns do with the draft picks from the Amari Cooper trade? The Browns received a third-round selection, which settled at 94 overall when the draft order was announced in 2025.
The Browns selected a potential quarterback of the future in Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel, but that is very much in doubt in a crowded room under a new head coach now. The pick the Browns received in 2026 ended up at 242, but Cleveland traded the pick from the Amari Cooper trade during August 2025. The Jets sent pick 182 to the Browns in exchange for 242 and DT Jowon Briggs.
