Dallas Cowboys agree to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper to Cleveland Browns, sources say [View all]
The Dallas Cowboys agreed to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper and a sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
The Browns entered this offseason on the hunt to rebuild Baker Mayfield's wide receiving corps, which was a massive disappointment last year.
The Browns had high hopes that Odell Beckham Jr. could return to being a No. 1 wide receiver after suffering a season-ending injury in 2020. Instead, he was released by the team in early November. OBJ went on to win a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, while Cleveland's passing game cratered on the way to a disappointing 8-9 finish.
The Browns, in fact, didn't have a single wideout top 600 receiving yards, and only Jarvis Landry had more than 35 receptions. Mayfield, who struggled while playing through a torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder in Week 2, finished 27th in the league in QBR (35.1).

Make no mistake, Browns are a running team first and foremost. Can't wait to see how Cooper handles this.
