It's about time the Cleveland Browns finally come to an agreement with wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Cooper has not attended any of the Browns' offseason workouts due to a contract standoff with the club. He is entering the final year of his deal, and with tons of other wide receivers landing lucrative extensions over the past several months, Cooper wants his piece of the pie.
Let me start by saying that I don't necessarily blame Cleveland for not giving in to Cooper's demands. Cooper's situation is different from wide outs like Justin Jefferson, AJ. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Those guys are all in their mid-20s . Cooper is 30. This is why I find it somewhat hard to fathom that Cooper wouldn't agree to a relatively short-term deal so long as the money is right.
The Browns don't have any other legitimate options for a No. 1 wide out other than Cooper. Jerry Jeudy is a No. 2. Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman and the rest of the receivers on the roster couldn't even moonlight as top targets. This is a team that won 11 games last season in spite of rifling through five different starting quarterbacks. Now, Deshaun Watson is healthy , and if Cooper is present, Cleveland could end up being a legitimate threat in the AFC.
