These are proven veterans who may no longer be in their prime but still bring value to a playoff contender or a team on the rise. Amari Cooper fits that bill perfectly. As of late May 2025, the five-time Pro Bowl receiver remains unsigned. Yet it’s clear his route-running, experience, and football IQ could help just about any receiving corps in the league. The question isn’t whether Cooper can still play. It’s which team will make the smartest bet on one of the most polished receivers of the last decade.</p><h2><b>Current Situation</b></h2><p>Cooper has been in the NFL for 10 years. It’s hard to believe he will turn just 31 in June. Typically, wideouts with a decade’s worth of wear and tear are either fading fast or looking for one last payday on a rebuilding squad. However, Cooper’s 2025 offseason is more nuanced. He’s coming off <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/browns-wr-amari-cooper-injury-update-is-silver-lining-amid-other-key-health-problems">a down year marred by injuries</a> but showed signs of life after the Cleveland Browns traded him to the Buffalo Bills.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Browns-Amari-Cooper-now-on-the-Buffalo-Bills-after-trade.jpg"><figcaption>© Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>His catch rate improved drastically—<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2976499/amari-cooper">from 45.3 percent in Cleveland</a> to 62.5 percent in Buffalo. Yes, he may no longer be a WR1. That said, Cooper remains a savvy, technical route-runner who can flourish in the right scheme. In a good quarterback situation, he still profiles as a 1,000-yard receiver.</p><p>However, who should actually make the call? Let’s break down the three best fits for Amari Cooper late in 2025 NFL free agency.</p><h2><b>1. Dallas Cowboys</b></h2><p>Could Amari Cooper return to Dallas? It’s not just wishful nostalgia. The Cowboys’ depth at receiver behind CeeDee Lamb is thinner than expected following a relatively disappointing draft. Cooper, who played for the Cowboys from 2018 to 2021, knows the system. He also has existing chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott. As such, he wouldn’t require much onboarding.</p><p>Jonathan Mingo and Jalen Tolbert offer promise but have yet to prove they can deliver consistently. Cooper could come in as a WR3 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-breaks-down-exciting-george-pickens-pairing">behind Lamb and new acquisition</a> George Pickens. Cooper would push young players in training camp while providing a reliable, veteran presence on the outside. Jerry Jones has never been shy about bringing back former players, especially ones with star power. Cooper’s low-profile professionalism fits well with what Dallas needs. He is a dependable chain-mover who takes pressure off Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson.</p><p>Plus, the Cowboys are still in win-now mode. Cooper is not a long-term investment. However, he could be the short-term solution that keeps Dallas’ passing game versatile and dangerous heading into a season with high expectations.</p><h2><b>2. Las Vegas Raiders</b></h2><p>The Raiders make for an interesting potential reunion. Yes, Cooper’s initial run in Oakland/Las Vegas (2015–2018) had its ups and downs. Still, the franchise now looks <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/raiders-news-pete-carroll-reveals-tom-bradys-true-role-with-las-vegas">very different under head coach</a> Pete Carroll and GM John Spytek. Las Vegas has a young, evolving receiver room. They are headlined by Jakobi Meyers in the slot and second-round rookie Jack Bech.</p><p>What’s missing is a seasoned outside receiver who can serve as both a mentor and steady contributor. Cooper would fill that role with ease. His ability to read coverages, run precise routes, and find soft spots in zone defenses would be a valuable asset for a quarterback group that may still lack stability.</p><p>Bringing in Cooper wouldn’t just help on the field. It would send a message to the locker room that this team is aiming for balance, veteran leadership, and playoff contention. Cooper comes with a reasonable price tag and familiarity with the franchise. He could be a low-risk, high-reward move for the Silver and Black.</p><h2><b>3. Philadelphia Eagles</b></h2><p>The Eagles already boast one of the league’s top receiving duos in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. However, their WR3 situation remains unsettled. Philadelphia took a swing by trading for Jahan Dotson. The former first-round pick, though, floundered in his first season with the team. He posted just 19 catches for 216 yards. The Eagles are looking for more than just a name. They need production.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jahan-Dotson-on-the-field-for-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Cooper can provide just that. He will not stretch the field the way he once did. Still, he wins on intermediate routes and offers a reliable option on third down. In a high-volume offense that spreads the ball around, Cooper could carve out a meaningful role. This is especially true if Dotson continues to struggle.</p><p>GM Howie Roseman has made a career out of savvy, low-cost veteran acquisitions. He signed Julio Jones in a similar situation just two seasons ago. Cooper has fresher legs and more recent production than late-career Jones. He could thrive in a WR3/insurance role and elevate an already potent Eagles offense.</p><h2><b>The Right Fit Is About Role, Not Just Resume</b></h2><p>At this stage of his career, Amari Cooper doesn’t need to be a WR1 to be valuable. He needs to be in the right system, with the right quarterback, and with a team that understands how to maximize his strengths. Whether that’s a reunion with Dallas, a mentorship role in Las Vegas, or a supporting cast gig in Philadelphia, Cooper still brings enough polish and poise to shift the balance of a playoff-bound receiving room.</p><p>The longer he stays on the market, the more likely it is a contender gets a steal. And when that happens, don’t be surprised if Cooper is once again making big catches in January.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The majority of their biggest moves have seen them <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/bills-news-brandon-beanes-no-doubt-stance-james-cook-contract-situation">sign their core group of stars to long-term extensions</a>, but they could stand to benefit from bringing back one member of their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-amari-cooper-bills-future-eye-opening-update">free-agent class, Amari Cooper</a>, based on the current makeup of their roster.</p><p>Needing a boost at wide receiver, the Bills traded for Cooper from the Cleveland Browns midway through the season, giving up a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick, while also getting a 2025 sixth-round pick back in return.</p><p>To this point, a return to Buffalo has been billed as unlikely for Cooper, but the team still needs help at the wide receiver spot, so a reunion <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45029609/2025-nfl-offseason-biggest-roster-holes-needs-every-team-draft" rel="noopener">isn’t totally out of the picture</a>.</p><p>“The Bills should consider bringing Amari Cooper back, if just for depth purposes.

Cooper only caught 20 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in eight games with Buffalo, as he never truly panned out for the team. As a result, the Bills pivoted and appeared set to move on from Cooper.</p><p>For the most part, though, Buffalo’s wide receiver room doesn’t look much different than it did last season, and they could still use an outside wide receiver to open things up in the middle of the field and potentially create big plays.</p><p>Cooper doesn’t appear to be the Pro Bowl-caliber wideout he once was, but he could still help the Bills, and who knows, maybe a reunion could happen as training camp draws near.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Injuries and chemistry issues with both Deshaun Watson and Josh Allen may have masked his remaining potential.</p><p>Listing <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/amari-cooper-landing-spots-seven-best-fits-for-top-free-agent-wide-receiver" rel="noopener">seven potential landing spots</a> for Amari Cooper for NFL.com, Kevin Patra included the Cardinals, who stand out as the most logical fit. With Kyler Murray returning to full strength and Arizona assembling a young receiving core led by Marvin Harrison Jr., adding a proven veteran could be a smart step forward. Cooper’s presence would offer a reliable third-down option and a seasoned mentor for a group still developing its identity,</p><p>Murray has shown flashes of brilliance but needs consistent pass-catching support to take the next leap. Cooper, even in a reduced role, could bring stability to the passing game and provide Arizona with a dependable red-zone threat. His ability to separate on short and intermediate routes also aligns well with the kind of rhythm offense Murray thrives in.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-kyler-murrays-powerful-message-trey-mcbride-after-76-million-contract" rel="noopener">Arizona still has financial flexibility</a> and a need at wideout. Signing Cooper to a one-year prove-it deal could be a win-win scenario: low risk, high potential reward. With few impactful pass catchers left on the NFL free agency board, this could be one of the smartest late additions of the offseason.</p><p>If the Cardinals want to elevate their offense in 2025, Cooper may be the missing piece they didn’t know they needed.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kawada was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, but now resides in Indianapolis, Indiana, after graduating from Butler University with a B.A. in sports media. Aside from football, Kawada is an avid combat sports and basketball bettor.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Buffalo Bills</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Following a turbulent 2024 season with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-amari-cooper-browns-blockbuster-trade">Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills, Amari Cooper</a> enters the 2025 offseason as a free agent. The five-time Pro Bowler hits free agency for the first time since 2020 and is potentially on track to join the fifth different team of his decade-long NFL career.</p><p>While Cooper’s numbers suggest he is on a decline, he is still one of the most precise route runners in the league. Cooper will turn 31 in June and has lost a good chunk of his speed, but has never been one to rely on athleticism to gain his edge. He may not be worth top dollar at this stage of his career, but he is still one of the biggest names available on the market.</p><p>When the Bills traded for Cooper in 2024, many believed the move would revive his previously dead season. But despite playing two more games in Buffalo than he did in Cleveland, Cooper caught four fewer passes after the trade than he did over his first six games of the year. An extension is certainly on the table, but one would expect both sides to go in another direction after their pairing was evidently miscalculated.</p><p>At this point in his career, Cooper is more of a top-end complementary receiver than the target vacuum he once was. His next deal will be far from the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-amari-cooper-to-sign-5-year-100-million-deal-with-dallas">$100 million extension he signed in 2020</a>, but his apparent desire to join a contender gives him a wide range of options in 2025 NFL free agency.</p><h2><b>1. Amari Cooper joins Los Angeles Chargers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Chargers-HC-Jim-Harbaugh.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After what he did as a rookie in 2024, Ladd McConkey is firmly cemented as the Los Angeles Chargers’ WR1 moving forward. Given Cooper effectively took a back seat to Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir with the Bills, he would theoretically have no issue being a veteran complement to McConkey. At the same time, the Chargers desperately need a serviceable wideout. McConkey excelled in the slot all season long, but neither Quentin Johnston nor Joshua Palmer emerged as sustainable threats from the outside.</p><p>With a number of big-name veterans hitting free agency in 2025, the Chargers will have a lot of flexibility and cap space to use over the offseason. Finding a solid wideout to line up next to McConkey in the slot should be one of their top priorities. Los Angeles signing Cooper would be the best-case scenario for both sides.</p><h2><b>2. Green Bay Packers need receivers</b></h2><p>Arguably no team had a worse receiving corps in 2024 than the Green Bay Packers. Jayden Reed entered the year as the projected No. 1 receiver and led the team with 857 receiving yards despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-jordan-love-weapon-catches-heat-from-fans-brutal-no-show-lions">perfecting his disappearing act</a> throughout the season. Neither one of the always-injured Christian Watson and notorious headcase Romeo Doubs made the situation any better.</p><p>If the Packers want to get anything out of Jordan Love before time runs out, they need to seek answers at receiver in 2025 NFL free agency. They will have the assets to do so, as they <a href="https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2025-nfl-salary-cap-tracker-all-32-nfl-teams-ranked-by-cap-space" rel="noopener">enter the offseason</a> with the 10th-most cap space in the league. Cooper, a veteran presence with elite route running, is a quality start. At the very least, he would be the best receiver to suit up for Green Bay since Davante Adams left in 2022.</p><h2><b>3. New England Patriots have the most cap space</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Mike-Vrabel-2-1.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Canha-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>No team will enter the 2025 NFL free agency period with more money to spend than the New England Patriots. Eliot Wolf begins the summer with over $100 million in cap space, mostly due to several high-priced veterans hitting free agency. Some of that money will be spent on retaining talent, but they have also been clear with their intentions to acquire a proven wideout for Drake Maye to work with.</p><p>As a rookie, Maye had <a href="https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/drake-maye/" rel="noopener">slightly more success</a> against man coverage than zone. Unfortunately, not many of the Patriots’ receivers succeeded in beating one-on-one coverages. Cooper would undeniably help in that area. Just two years removed from a 1,000-yard campaign, there are still some reasons to believe in Cooper as a legitimate No. 1 option, but New England has enough cap space to add him along with other high-value targets to fully commit to Maye.</p><h2><b>4. Kansas City Chiefs sign Amari Cooper</b></h2><p>If Cooper desires to join a contender more than anything else, there would be no better destination than the three-time defending AFC Champions. Since Tyreek Hill left the team in 2022, wide receivers continue to elude the Chiefs. However, that recent trend seems to be shifting. Rashee Rice looked like a budding superstar before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-rashee-rice-carted-off-colliding-patrick-mahomes">suffering a torn ACL</a> early in the season, which only allowed rookie Xavier Worthy to emerge late.</p><p>Once Super Bowl LIX ends, veterans DeAndre Hopkins and JuJu Smith-Schuster will enter free agency. Both are visibly past their peak and, while a re-sign is still possible, did not bring what the team wanted to the table. Cooper can be the reliable veteran on the outside that Kansas City hoped Hopkins would be when they traded for him at the 2024 deadline.</p><h2><b>5. Amari Cooper reunites with Kellen Moore and New Orleans Saints</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Kellen-Moore_0331e0.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kellen Moore is not officially the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-latest-kellen-moore-move-shows-head-coach-intentions">all signs point to that announcement</a> coming after Super Bowl LIX. Moore, 36, is currently with the Philadelphia Eagles but made his name with the Dallas Cowboys from 2019 to 2022. Cooper, who played for Dallas from 2018 to 2021, never looked better in his career than he did in Moore’s system.</p><p>Again, the big caveat to this notion is the uncertainty surrounding Moore. The Saints are also thin on cap space and would need to clear a few veteran contracts from their books before making any notable signings. If they are able to do so, Cooper is the biggest name on the market with whom Moore has a history of success working.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But his production did not live up to expectations and now he is hitting free agency. Matt Bowen of ESPN reported that the Bills may keep Cooper in free agency for reasons <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/43521213/2025-nfl-free-agency-top-50-ranking-players-available-offseason-higgins-darnold" rel="noopener">beyond the stat line</a>.</p><p>“The Bills have been happy with Cooper, despite low production compared with past seasons. He has been a good team player in Buffalo, and the Bills are intrigued by getting him into a full offseason program with quarterback Josh Allen. Though his free agency future is uncertain, a return to Buffalo does not appear off the table,” Bowen reported.</p><p><b><i>For our 2025 NFL QB carousel predictions, listen below:</i></b></p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>When the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-gm-brandon-beane-drops-eye-opening-josh-allen-revelation-after-stefon-diggs-trade">Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans</a>, they lived on the phrase “everybody eats.” They drafted Keon Coleman and signed Mack Hollins to give Josh Allen a deep pool of receivers to pick from. But adding Cooper was supposed to give them the big body to hit in the red zone that they lacked.</p><p>Considering the coaching consistency and great quarterback play they have, assuming Cooper will get better is not a crazy assumption. The Bills must improve to finally beat the Chiefs and make the Super Bowl. Does a full season of Amari Cooper meet that need?</p><h2><b>The Bills must add more than just Amari Cooper</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Amari-Cooper-with-Buffalo-Bills.jpg"><figcaption>Mark Konezny-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the Bills still lost the AFC Championship Game, they had plenty of chances to slay the beast, The controversial call on 4th &amp; 1 and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-steve-spagnuolo-change-secure-4th-down-stop-bills">chaotic final drive should leave a bad taste in their mouths</a>. But one easy fix would have prevented those things from happening. James Cook was not on the field for the final drive despite dominating the game to that point.</p><p>But the takeaway cannot be just play Cook more and everything will work. The Chiefs have always improved in the offseason even after Super Bowl wins so the Bills need to as well. Tee Higgins is the class of the wide receiver class and will likely break the bank with his next contract. Could Buffalo swipe a great receiver from a top rival? If they can, Higgins would be a much better fit than Cooper.</p><p>If Cooper has a great year next year, it could open up things for rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman. He had a solid first year, 556 yards and four touchdowns, but is not in the top tier of this year’s pass catchers. With Brian Thomas Jr, Malik Nabers, and Brock Bowers all going to the Pro Bowl, Coleman has a lot of space to catch up next year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
