Amari Cooper wants a new deal, and right now, he holds the edge over the Browns.
Amari Cooper is currently embroiled in a contract standoff with the Cleveland Browns, as the star wide receiver is entering the final year of is current deal.
Cooper has certainly seen the plethora of other receivers land massive extensions from their respective teams this offseason, topped by Justin Jefferson's massive four-year, $140 million pact with the Minnesota Vikings.compensated appropriately, which has put Cleveland in a rather precarious position.
For that reason, Cleveland is understandably reluctant to hand Cooper a lucrative long-term deal. A four-year contract for a receiver on the wrong side of 30 is probably not the best move, especially not when you are already paying $230 million for a quarterback who has played 12 games in two seasons.Cooper is clearly Cleveland's No. 1 receiver. Remove him from the equation, and suddenly, the Browns' receiving corps become pretty thin.
But it will also come to a point where Cooper will have to assess the situation and adjust on the fly. His clear leverage will only last for a period of time.
