<\/p>\nAmari Cooper was dumped by the Dallas Cowboys and struggled during his half season with the Buffalo Bills, but could be a good fit for the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When the Buffalo Bills first acquired Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns last season, the organization hoped that they would be to have a quality top-flight receiver to aid their offense.<\/p>\n
That didn’t end up happening, though.<\/p>\n
Cooper caught just 20 passes for under 300 yards through his eight games with the Bills. … continuing a fade that occurred as part of his goodbye from the Dallas Cowboys, who once gave him a $100 million contract.<\/p>\n
And now?<\/strong><\/p>\n The five-time Pro Bowl wideout is now 30 years old, and well past the prime of his career.<\/p>\n That doesn’t mean he can’t be serviceable. ESPN analyst Matt Bowen suggested that the New York Jets should inquire about bringing Cooper to the franchise in Florham Park.<\/p>\n “There’s a need for competition in the Jets’ wide receiver room opposite of No. 1 option Garrett Wilson,” Bowen said. “With Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds next on the depth chart, Cooper could come in and fight for work. Yes, the 30-year-old is showing signs of decline on tape, but he is still a detailed route runner who can uncover.<\/em><\/p>\n “He could be a solid target for quarterback Justin Fields on play-action concepts, getting open on deep in-breakers.”<\/em><\/p>\n There is no guarantee that the Jets will look to bring Cooper onto the roster. There isn’t even a guarantee that Cooper would be able to produce at the level he was known for with the Dallas Cowboys or Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n Even so, Cooper’s struggles in Buffalo show he may be past his prime.<\/p>\n That’s fine with the Cowboys, who have ignored rumors about a reunion and instead traded for George Pickens.<\/p>\n And that’s fine with the Bills, too. They have done everything they have needed to bolster their own receiving core, without needing an aging veteran to bolster the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amari Cooper was dumped by the Dallas Cowboys and struggled during his half season with the Buffalo Bills, but could be a good fit for the New… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":56597,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n
