Amari Cooper didn't want to take a pay cut to stay with the Dallas Cowboys, who found a taker for his contract.
The Cleveland Browns are getting Cooper cheap, in terms of trade return. On Saturday afternoon the Browns were reportedly close to finalizing a trade that would send a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick to Dallas for Cooper and a sixth-round pick according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. So, essentially, the Browns get a four-time Pro Bowl receiver for a fifth-round pick. And Cooper is just 27 years old.
There is another cost associated with the deal.
