    The Cleveland Browns searched for a difference-making wide receiver ahead of the trade deadline but may need to part with one come the offseason.

    Amari Cooper has been the team’s best option in the passing game for the last two years, but a nearly $24 million salary cap hit in 2024 might be more than Cleveland can fit into a budget already stretched to the limit by Deshaun Watson’s fully-guaranteed $230 million contract.

    Dan Graziano of ESPN on Friday, November 3, predicted that the Browns will cut or trade Cooper next summer in the name of saving up to $20 million next season

    I wouldn't worry about it too much just yet.  My guess is they'll figure out a way to keep him.  Berry's good at managing the cap. If they extend him they can move the money around.  I wouldn't be too surprised if they got rid of Wills or traded him.  I also wouldn't be surprised at all if Conklin finally had to retire or restructure his contract.

  • he's only 29 [30 next season] and is one of if not the best route-runner in the game

  • Are there concerns with the cap, yes.

    Don't let that toxic "heavy.com" stuff influence you too much. I quit reading it, it's all innuendo & negativity.imho.

    I see Wills as "Untradeable" He's got a season ending knee injury.. By the same token.. It's just not working for him here.. It may just be a question of system too.. Just maybe he's not good enough or versatile enough to work in Callahan's system. He's probably better equipped to be in a Bill Wylie road grader system where pass blocking is secondary...

    The problem is Half of the teams have a Wills type player at tackle they would like to replace next season.  
     

    If you are good to solid tackle you are going get paid this coming offseason.

    Believe it or not, I said that before the game.  His agent will probably sell him as a RT (his previous comfort/experience at Bama).  Somewhere within the 31 other teams I think they can find a taker for the former 10th pick overall.  We'll see.

    I've been a big critic of his but I actually felt bad for the guy when he got injured yesterday.  He got injured earlier in the game and returned.  Then he got the serious knee injury later playing through his other lower leg injury.

    Additionally, while extremely good as a player I'm confident he understands the market for him isn't in the top 7 of the league (where $24 million is roughly). On top of his age, you're right- he's a great candidate for something like you're describing to keep him through his contract in 2024. Dude can still ball and no one on the team appears poised to take over that spot.

    Except according to Stefanski it's NOT a season ending injury.  I was able to listen to WKNR during my three hour drive back to Dayton this afternoon. 

    According to Kev in his Monday press conference. they're putting Wills on IR, with MCL and PCL strains. No timeline for his return, but it sounded like he should be able to come back before the end of the season. Six? week recovery time frame.  

    EDIT: From NFL.com... " OT Jedrick Wills suffered a high-grade MCL sprain, low-grade PCL sprain and bone bruises on Sunday and is expected to miss roughly six weeks, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday, per sources. Wills is going to be placed on injured reserve, per Stefanski."

    I saw something somewhere on the interwebs that Wills won't be out for the season.  It was an MCL sprain and some bruises. You know, Wills catches a lot of shot on here but my heart went out for him when I see him in tears. Not much being said about his injury here on this board. I wish him well.
