‘“Listen, we’re still all in,” Beane told McAfee and A.J. Hawk. “If this didn’t happen, if Cleveland was not ready to do it, we were going to continue to monitor (Cooper and the wide receiver market). We still got a few weeks for the (trade) deadline. If we feel there’s something else we need or can help us get over the top (we’ll do it). We have been all in all along… The mindset here as long as Josh Allen’s our quarterback is we’re going to try and win this thing and we’re going to do what we can every single year.”’

Can new Bills WR Amari Cooper level up with Josh Allen midseason like he did with Dak Prescott years ago?
‘In Buffalo, Cooper should seamlessly slide into the WR1 void left by Stefon Diggs offseason departure to the Houston Texans. His air yards made up the fifth-highest share of team air yards (46.9%) in the first six weeks of the 2024 season, and the Bills were the only team in the entire league without a receiver over 26%, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Mack Hollins’ 21.4% air yards team share ranked as the highest by a Bills receiver entering Week 7. Cooper also has more career receiving touchdowns (62) than every other wide receiver on Buffalo’s roster combined (61). His production should slot in similarly or more better than what Diggs produced across the last three seasons with Cooper having the edge in yards per reception.’
