Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper received a $5 million raise and will make $20 million in the final year of his five-year, $100 million deal, Cleveland.com and ESPN reported on Tuesday.
Cooper, who turned 30 last month, will receive half of the $20 million guarantee in a signing bonus to conclude the deal he signed in 2020 while with the Dallas Cowboys. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season.
Per the reports, Cooper was at the team’s practice facility on Tuesday, when Browns veterans were scheduled to report to training camp.
Cooper skipped a mandatory minicamp in June, three months after the Browns traded for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, who signed a three-year, $58 million extension.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said at the time that Cooper’s absence was unexcused and would not confirm if it was about the veteran’s contract.
Cooper came over to Cleveland in March 2022 in exchange for a 2022 fifth-round pick. The Browns and Cowboys also swapped sixth-round picks in the deal.
Last season, Cooper totaled a career-high 1,250 receiving yards while catching 72 passes for five touchdowns in his fifth Pro Bowl campaign.
