Amari Cooper has a lot of catching up to do in Buffalo.
On Monday, the Buffalo Bills solidified their lead in the AFC East with a win over the New York Jets. The following day, they enhanced their offense by trading for Amari Cooper, a true No. 1 wide receiver, from the Cleveland Browns.
Cooper, moving from one of the NFL’s struggling offenses to the second-highest-scoring team in the AFC, quickly showed his excitement for this fresh start. Both he and quarterback Josh Allen expressed admiration for each other during their discussions about the trade on Wednesday, highlighting the positive impact they expect to have on one another.
Amari Cooper had high praise for his new quarterback, Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen. Allen acknowledged the emotional lift that comes with adding a player of Cooper’s caliber, emphasizing that the entire offense is eager to welcome the five-time Pro Bowler. “Absolutely, it’s Amari Cooper, so we’re very excited,”
Allen said when asked about the impact of the addition. “The whole offense, especially the receiving group, will embrace him and be ready to work with him and learn from his experience and success in the league. I think it’s going to benefit our guys significantly.”
Getzenberg then pointed out Cooper’s comments about Allen, with the 30-year-old calling his new teammate “one of the top quarterbacks in the game.” “The way [Allen] plays is phenomenal,” Cooper said.
“Every time I watch him on TV, he plays with a lot of grit and hustle. He plays hard and has been one of the top quarterbacks for a while now. Being able to play with him and experience that in person is going to be really cool.”
