This is according to Jordan Schultz. The Browns are trading wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Another big time wide receiver on the move. We do not yet have compensation on this deal, but the Browns are trading Amari Cooper away. The Bills, who are four and two in a contender in the AFC, are bringing in a legit weapon for Josh Allen.

I've always been an Amari Cooper guy. He doesn't have the greatest. He's not one of those dudes that after every first down has like a big choreographed dance or does it doesn't seem like he's that excited. It's just this very technical, solid route runner, good hands. Just seemed like he was miserable though, and Cleveland from the outside looking at and have no idea. And from Cleveland perspective, this makes sense. It's lost. I mean, this ship is sinking. Get what you can get while you can get it. And again, it makes sense for Buffalo too. They've kind of said, hey, we'll be able to replace Define Diggs's production with committee, Curtis Samuel and Shakir and Hollins and Keon Coleman. And the answer is maybe we can't. We probably need an easier button. Someone that's going to draw us some attention. Makes them big hatches for us. Makes sense for them too. I have said for years, I don't understand why the NFL trade deadline is not more like the other sports. Why there wasn't more activity, why there aren't more players of note being shipped away. I mean, here we are still almost two weeks away from the deadline. And you've got a couple of blockbuster wide receivers moves. I think that's awesome for the sport. We've seen it trending this way the last couple of years. That's my first takeaway. Next would be, I love this trade for the Buffalo Bills. Love it. They need a wide receiver one. Keon Coleman might eventually be really good. Their second round pick this past year. He is not there yet. He's just not ready. He doesn't get open enough. Doesn't get enough targets or catches. But that tells you that he's not coming free. Matt Collins is big. He's physical. He can help in the red zone. We saw that last night. But he's a down the depth chart guy. Kaleel Shakir is more of a gadget guy. I'd say the same about Curtis Samuel. Get them in space. They can work the middle of the field underneath stuff on screens. But you don't have a third down the word daddy. You don't have a, I need seven, get me eight. Physical box amount. Run routes middle of the field. Digs in routes. The crosser. Turn it up field. Run into some bodies and pick up the yards needed. And I think you get that now in a Mari Cooper if you're the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen's having a very good season without a legit wide receiver one at this point. Ten touchdowns. No picks. But he's having to do a lot of extra work with his feet. That it isn't sustainable and I think they want to get better throwing the football. This will help them do that. The difference between this and the Adams deal in my opinion, Danny. The Jets are two and four and probably not going anywhere quickly. The Bills are four and two, a threat to Kansas City and one of the best teams in the conference. And they just got a legitimate weapon and a really good football. Yeah, this is what you do. Right? If you're, you know, if you're the team that's going to be in the postseason, think about for baseball. You're the first place team and yeah, we could use a bullpen arm or yeah, we could use, you know, a fifth starter or a corner outfield bat and you, you, you pilfer from the losing team. It's not going anywhere. Much less common in the NFL, but it's a good trade for all parties. Honestly, again, Cleveland is done. They're stuck. It's Watson. The ship is on fire. It's sinking. It's been split in half by a Kraken. They have no chance. So you start moving some of these parts, get some cap savings. Next year Cooper, I think has a $23 million cap it give or take bills. Don't care about next year. Don't care about two years from now. They got a window with the window may not be as wide open as it was a couple of seasons ago, but they're still pretty damn good in a very winnable division. Even the Browns, if they're selling off and admitting defeat and calling this season what, what it is, shouldn't they rip the bandit off? Yes. There is such a thing as a sunk cost fallacy, right? People are familiar with this concept. The idea is in a sunk cost fallacy, well, we already spent the money. So we got to use it. In fact, you've said on this show that you're this guy, not, not that you're Mr. SCF or something, but basically if I buy my kids something, you're going to use it. If I spend the money, we are going to get that thing. We're going to ride that bike until the wheels fall off basically. The Browns made a terrible decision, say that blame whoever you want ownership GM staff. I don't care. It doesn't really matter how or why we got here with the Sean Watson. He is incapable. He is incompetent. That offense is broken. And the longer you play him, it will not get better. This is now three years of banging your head against the wall and it's getting worse and worse and worse. And the only argument to continue to play him is he's under contract for two more years with gigantic guaranteed cap numbers, 70 plus million each of the next couple seasons in terms of his actual cap numbers. So we don't have a choice. Sure you do. Your choice is don't allow the terrible awful decision to continue to fester. Rip the bandit off. Keep paying the money you have to in dead money, whatever it takes. Or if you want to keep him on your roster and just tell him not to show up to work or be the third quarterback if he's willing to do that, then be my guest. But they have to end this charade immediately. And if they're admitting today that it's over, that the competitive portion of their season is done with, which is what you're doing when you trade Amari Cooper. Yep. Now is the time to do this. 100% agree. They've got some really good pieces. I mean, that's kind of my intrigue for the Browns this year was they weren't 11 win team last year, right with Joe flacko, I think I've got that number, right? But they've been competitive. Their roster is good. It's legit good. It was really good with Cooper now without him, but there are pieces that a lot of teams would be interested to see Denzel Ward, Miles Garrett, Jack Conklin, David and Joku, you know, down with Tom Wilson, they got, they got pieces on that roster that other teams would be intrigued by. Now, you know, there's, there's something to be said for who are your guys that you're going to build around, but there's also something to be said for we can really restock here as we get out from under this Watson thing. And by the way, a $200 million dead cat pit, we're there to cut him. First of all, can you imagine? No. Second of all, if this is the start of something, then there are some teams I can think of maybe a couple, one pretty local that might be calling and or should be calling and just inquiring. What's the, what's the asking price? Too much. Thank you. Or that sounds good to me. Something intriguing. Here's your trade details on the big swap between the Browns and the bills. Amari Cooper from Cleveland to Buffalo, the Browns are getting back a third and a seventh round pick for Amari Cooper. The bills get a sixth round pick. So basically a late round pick swap with a third biscuit, third. Yeah. By the way, if you're keeping score at home, the Vante Adams got a three could end up being a two Amari Cooper nets a three with a late round pick swap. Didn't Jahan Datsen get washing in the three? And oh, by the way, that three is going to end up being a higher three than either of those other teams, probably, because it's Miami's three, which right now is slotted in the middle of the top 10. I'm not saying I'm just saying, Adam Peters, talk that s Adam Peters, take a bow comb your hair. Just so looking in the mirror at that jawline. What do you see? I see a handsome man. A minute. Right decision. I think I do. Don't you see that? Not a bad decision by Adam Peters.
