Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper did not get a contract extension.
But he did get a raise for the final year of his deal and a guarantee after holding out of minicamp.
Cooper and the Browns agreed to restructure the final year of his five-year, $100 million deal to guarantee the $20 million remaining on the contract and add an additional $5 million to his salary, according to multiple reports.
Cooper missed minicamp in June with an unexcused absence amid a spike in salaries with new contracts for some of the league’s top receivers including Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
A five-time Pro Bowler, Cooper was Cleveland’s most reliable and productive offense player amid a chaotic 2023 season that saw Cleveland start five different quarterbacks. Cooper posted 72 catches for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. His receiving yardage total ranked 10th in the NFL.
