Due to be paid $20 million for the 2024 season, the former Alabama All-American didn’t attend Cleveland’s mandatory minicamp.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper runs after a reception during an NFL game against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 15, 2023, in Cleveland.
Each NFL team’s offseason program is voluntary for its players, except the mandatory minicamp. Cooper could have been fined $101,716 for skipping the three days of practice last week that concluded Cleveland’s offseason work. It doesn’t appear the Browns will fine Cooper, but there’s also no indication the Cleveland will have an answer for the formerAll-American’s contract concerns by July 23, when the team’s veteran players are scheduled to report for training camp.
“We’re happy to have him as a member of the organization. Sometimes all teams will have periods where they go through these types of situations, but it does not change our affinity for Amari. We’ll navigate, call it, the business considerations, the business aspects, as it goes, but he is a big part of our team, and, just as importantly, he’s a big part of our culture.”
Cooper recorded a career-high 1,250 yards on 72 receptions, with five touchdowns, in 2023. With his seventh 1,000-yard season, Cooper received his fifth Pro Bowl invitation.and a sixth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft from Dallas for 2022 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks. Cooper was two seasons into his contract when it became too rich for the Cowboys’ taste after he had 68 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021.
