NFL Insider Expect Teams to Eye Browns' Amari Cooper amid Davante Adams Trade Rumors
While Las Vegas Raiders star receiver Davante Adams is the most coveted player on the trade market, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said he believes teams who need a fallback option will turn their attention to Cleveland Browns veteran wideout Amari Cooper.
"Do I think the Browns are shopping him right now? No. But he's got a very attractive salary because when they reworked his deal this offseason only $1.2 million is on the books base salary. So, teams could get him on the cheap. Only 30 years old, still a really good player. So, I do expect teams to at least call on Cooper," Fowler said on Saturday's episode of SportsCenter.

Cooper was recently asked about his name being floated in trade rumors, and he said he doesn't pay attention to the chatter online.
"No, I'm not aware of it, no," Cooper said told Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com (h/t NFL.com's Kevin Patra). "Usually if I don't have a good game, I try to stay off of social media. That's one thing that I've learned, because I can be kind of sensitive about the way that I play, and just being on social media, there's nothing about hiding that. So no, I haven't seen any of it."
Cooper is in the final year of his contract. Through four games, he has 16 catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns. With the Browns off to a 1-3 start, they could be open to shipping him away to recoup assets for the future.
A 10-year veteran, Cooper would be a strong addition for teams in need of improvements on the outside. The Kansas City Chiefs, who placed receiver Rashee Rice on injured reserve due to a knee injury, will likely be exploring the trade market, making Cooper a viable option for the defending Super Bowl Champions.
If the Browns are unable to get back on track in Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, Cooper's days in Cleveland could be numbered.
