One player that could be available via trade that ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler believes is an \u201cattractive option\u201d for Kansas City is\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0wideout\u00a0Amari Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chiefs are never keen on absorbing big contracts, so ideally they would look for a reasonably priced veteran,\u201d\u00a0Fowler wrote on October 2. \u201cIf Cleveland continues to slide, Amari Cooper could be an attractive option because his contract restructure has him playing on a minimum base salary.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What to Know About Amari Cooper<\/h2>\n<p>Cooper 30, entered the NFL as a first-round pick \u2014 fourth overall \u2014 of the then-Oakland Raiders\u00a0in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Cooper, who stands at 6-foot-1 and weighs 211 pounds, has been a very productive and consistent receiver during his 10 years in the NFL. He has seven 1,000-yard seasons and has two 1,000-yard seasons with three different teams (Raiders,\u00a0Dallas Cowboys,\u00a0Cleveland Browns) which speaks to his productivity in very different offensive environments. During his career, he has accumulated 683 receptions, 9,634 yards, and 62 touchdowns in 144 regular season games, according to\u00a0Pro Football Reference.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from his production, what makes Cooper \u2014 a five-time Pro Bowler \u2014 an enticing trade piece for Cleveland is his contract. Cleveland converted all but $1.2 million of Cooper\u2019s 2024 base salary into a signing bonus. So, if Cooper were to be traded, his cap hit for another team would be $941,111, per\u00a0Spotrac. However, if he were traded at the trade deadline \u2014 which is November 5 \u2014 his cap hit for another team would be $605,000.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Does Amari Cooper Make Sense for Chiefs?<\/h2>\n<p>Cooper\u2019s contract makes him an extremely affordable trade option for the Chiefs, who currently have just $4.9 million in available cap space. He also fits the profile of an X receiver that Kansas City\u2019s offense has been lacking for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest hurdle for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions would be the long-term ramifications of trading for Cooper. He is an unrestricted free agent in 2024, which means that, if the team can\u2019t come to terms on an extension with him, Cooper would be a short-term rental if they traded for him midseason.<\/p>\n<p>Users on X, formerly Twitter, chatted about the idea of Kansas City potentially trading for Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne major reason I like the idea of the Chiefs acquiring Amari Cooper is his availability,\u201d\u00a0one person wrote. \u201cHe\u2019s started nearly every game since coming into the league in 2015, and has had 1000+ yards in every season but 2 (\u201917, \u201921). Those 2 years were outliers where injuries were an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the Chief should trade for Amari Cooper even if Rice is somehow miraculously only out a month or two,\u201d\u00a0another person wrote. \u201cCheap contract, last year of deal, motivated mercenary, skillset blends well with Worthy and Rice if Rice is back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chiefs will make a move for a WR. You can\u2019t discount how seriously they\u2019re taking this 3-peat,\u201d\u00a0another person wrote. \u201cFrom an eagles eye view it sure seems like Amari Cooper makes all the sense in the world. Cheap cap hit. Expiring contract. Shouldn\u2019t have to give up too much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyCleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper.
