Brandon Beane defended the trade for Amari Cooper, but ultimately, the production was not there for the veteran wide receiver.

The Buffalo Bills traded for Amari Cooper at the 2024 trade deadline, looking to bolster their wide-receiving core. But his production did not live up to expectations and now he is hitting free agency.

The Buffalo Bills are "intrigued" by the idea of bringing back wide receiver Amari Cooper for a full season with Josh Allen, according to ESPN's

The Buffalo Bills traded for star wide receiver Amari Cooper during the 2024 season while he was in the last year of a contract he signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. Set to become a free agent in 2025, what could Cooper’s next deal be worth?

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Buffalo Bills were "happy" with Cooper's production and play with the team this season and are interested in re-signing him. Fowler noted that sources within the team are "intrigued" about getting him in a full offseason plan with quarterback Josh Allen.

Cooper is now set to hit free agency, and there’s a chance the two sides look to continue their partnership. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bills have been happy with Cooper’s presence in the locker room, and they’re “intrigued” by the idea of giving the receiver a full offseason to click with Josh Allen.

Some fans have wondered about Amari Cooper’s involvement in Bills offense. Cooper has “absolutely no complaints.” “Winning is way more important & that’s all I truly want. I’ve had it every other way, & haven’t reached the pinnacle of this sport of how I would have liked.” pic.twitter.com/jqjhFNMPWY

Amari Cooper has enough catches, yards and touchdowns over his 10-year NFL career to satisfy his ego. What’s missing in the 30-year-old’s career is playoff success.

The Buffalo Bills’ trade with the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 15 put a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver into the AFC contender’s lineup. But other than a six-catch, 95-yard performance against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 8, Amari Cooper’s contributions haven’t matched his resume.

The Bills Bills also shed some light on the injury that sidelined the veteran soon after he got to Orchard Park.

Amari Cooper's half-season stint in Buffalo didn’t necessarily go as planned. After being shipped from the Browns to the Bills in October, the veteran wideout was limited to only 20 receptions and a career-worst 37.
