Everyone is saying The Same Thing About the Buffalo Bills Trading for Amari Cooper

The Buffalo Bills lost out on Davante Adams, but still wound up adding an elite playmaking wide receiver to quarterback Josh Allen’s arsenal Tuesday.

Hours after the Las Vegas Raiders traded Adams to the New York Jets, the Bills landed veteran Amari Cooper in a trade with the Cleveland Browns.

Already holding a two-game lead in the AFC East, after being the Jets on Monday night, the Bills’ offense gets significantly stronger, particularly in the vertical passing game, but dropping Cooper into a receiving corps that already included upstart rookie Keon Coleman, veterans Khalil Shakir, and Mack Hollins.

But, Cooper now becomes a true No. 1 target and game-changing playmaker in Allen’s supporting cast.

While appearing in only three games for the Browns, so far this season, Cooper has caught 24 passes for 250 yards with a pair of touchdowns.

After the trade, Buffalo Bills fans had a lot of the same thoughts on the Cooper deal, and his impact on the offense.
