CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns and wide receiver Amari Cooper are at a contract impasse after Cooper skipped the team’s mandatory minicamp two weeks ago. He wants a new deal and the Browns have a decision to make as far as how to approach their star wideout.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe begin a look at their 15 keys to winning the Super Bowl series — with stories running throughout July — by looking at Cooper and why he’s so important to the Browns on Monday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast.
They start with how the Browns will or should approach Cooper’s contract and how a deal could get done before they get into why Cooper is so important to this team reaching its goal this season. They also discuss the possibility of a swap for 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk and delve into what the receiving corps would look like without Cooper.
