2024 was supposed to be a build-off of last year’s season for the Cleveland Browns when they made the playoffs with backup quarterback Joe Flacco, who was sitting on his couch for most of the season.

Sadly, the exact opposite happened. After Sunday’s Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland is now sitting at a 2-8 record, and if the season ended today, they would be selecting third in the NFL Draft.
Former Cleveland Browns Player Seems To Take A Shot At Them
Wide receiver Amari Cooper was one of the players who had so much success for the Browns last season. Still, at the start of this year, he looked disinterested in the team after there were offseason rumors floating around that he would be traded out west to the San Francisco 49ers.
Cooper’s stay in Cleveland wasn’t for long this year, and he was traded to the Buffalo Bills over a month ago on Sunday afternoon; the Bills pulled off a major win against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Cooper seemed happy about the result and stated, “First time in a long time I’ve felt joy from winning a game.”
How much did this #Bills win mean to Amari Cooper?

Clearly, this was a shot at the Browns, and he wanted to make sure everyone knew that he wasn’t so happy winning games in Cleveland even though they had tons of success with him last year.
Cooper is not the only former Cleveland player to feel this way about their old team, and it is only a trend Browns fans have heard since their team returned in 1999.
The Bills look like the team to beat in the AFC now, and maybe this will be the year they put it all together and make a run at their first-ever Super Bowl victory.
