Bills' Amari Cooper fires off 3-word message after Browns trade

The Buffalo Bills made a smart move on Tuesday when they acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns for a pair of draft picks.

Cooper, a five-time Pro Bowler, was in the middle of his third season in Cleveland before the move. He hadn't exactly been on the verge of breaking out this year, as Deshaun Watson sputtered out of the gate, leading to a 1-5 start for Cleveland.

The star receiver wrote a three-word message on his Instagram Stories after the deal was finalized.

“Move or rust,” he wrote.

Cooper will definitely be the No. 1 receiver for the Bills and the top target for quarterback Josh Allen. In six games with the Browns, he recorded 24 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns.

He was a Pro Bowler last season with 72 catches for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns.

It's the third time Cooper has been traded in his career. The Dallas Cowboys acquired him from the then Oakland Raiders in the 2018 season and the Browns acquired him in the 2022 offseason.

The Bills expanded their wide receiver position with the selection of Keon Coleman in the draft. But the team traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans and lost Gabe Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency.

Buffalo still managed to get to the top of the division in six weeks. Khalil Shakir was the team's leading receiver with 20 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns.
