Browns news: Amari Cooper extension could be on the way.
Amari Cooper could finish his career with the Browns.
Andrew Berry might not be done with extensions yet. The Cleveland Browns general manager recently added three years to Jerry Jeudy’s contract but there’s another wideout in his sights.
Reports have surfaced that Berry is ready to give Amari Cooper another deal. It’s a great story for Cooper, who was essentially a salary dump from the Dallas Cowboys. Not only did he live up to the contract they no longer wanted to pay, but he’s earned another deal as well.
That story and more can be found in today’s news round up.

Browns roster: Another extension coming soon? — Jared Mueller, Dawgs by Nature
“It is noted that Cooper’s negotiations will take priority after the NFL draft. An extension this year could reduce Cooper’s $23 million cap hit in 2024 and, given the team’s contract structure, stay decently low in 2025 as well.”
Mueller quoted an Insider article from Mary Kay Cabot, who spoke with Andrew Berry about a potential extension for Cooper. Berry praised Cooper as a leader and expressed a desire to get a deal done by Week 1 of the regular season. His plan is to beat the market, which is approaching $30 million for a No. 1 wideout.

“We don’t think of the draft as {addressing} need necessarily,” said Berry on Tuesday at the owner’s meetings. “We think about it as more like long-term investment in the roster.”
