The Buffalo Bills acquired Amari Cooper recently from the struggling Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster deal
The past week in the football world saw two high-profile transfers as Super Bowl-hopeful teams tried to polish their offense. New York Jets reunited two former Green Bay Packers teammates while the Buffalo Bills brought in Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills trade, though not so surprising trumped the Davante Adams-Aaron Rodgers Jets deal. The Bills, better placed in the AFC East are one of the most promising teams in the conference. Albeit being on top, the Bills had some clear struggles especially in receptions since Week 1. The quarterback Josh Allen focused on getting the ball to whoever was free. Cooper presented an idea where Allen will be supported by a receiver intent on making routes.
The happy and exhilarated Allen broke his silence on the trade. Allen expressed exhilaration in utilizing Cooper as a potential weapon, moving ahead in the league. They have some major games lined up in the next two months including Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions. They will also play their divisional rivals Jets once more.
Allen highlighted what makes Cooper such a valuable complement to the offense, emphasizing his exceptional route running. In addition to Allen, OC Brandon Beane, and HC Sean McDermott pointed to this trait as a key factor in Cooper’s effectiveness.
Cooper joined the Bills locker room on Wednesday during the walkthrough practice. McDermott responded that he’s unsure if Cooper will make his debut on Sunday afternoon. Furthermore, he added that he will monitor the fluidity of the team alongside the offensive coaching staff.
Amari Cooper expresses joy to play alongside Josh Allen
Josh Allen is quickly rising to the top quarterbacks of the season. Allen has enjoyed a relatively good season so far, in terms of team and personal results. Despite losing Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in the offseason, Allen has adapted to the situation, making the most of it.
Now since Allen has cleared one of the biggest hindrances, fans are curious to see how Allen and Cooper will mix to create wins. Cooper has also made comments regarding the quarterback, stating him as phenomenal.
The Buffalo Bills are playing the Tennessee Titans this week looking for their fifth win of the season. The Titans, who are struggling with their offense and QB, will be traveling to Nickel City.
