| 0:26.3 | You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. |
| 0:29.2 | All right, Jordan Schultz, Fox Sports NFL Insider, broke the story on Amari Cooper from Cleveland. |
| 0:35.9 | He's a freebie. |
| 0:37.2 | Veteran, productive, quiet to the Buffalo Bills. |
| 0:40.6 | Were you shocked they grabbed him? |
| 0:41.9 | Had they been targeting him for some time? |
| 0:44.6 | They had been targeting him really over the last couple weeks. |
| 0:47.0 | It was more Buffalo being ultra-aggressive than Cleveland's saying we want to unload Amari Cooper. |
| 0:52.7 | So what happened was I think on Monday they had a pretty good idea that that could happen. And then Tuesday morning, they were going to touch base. The parameters were in place, and they were able to get a deal done. But with Amari Cooper, not only is he a great player, but in many ways, he's the perfect player for Buffalo. He's got five Pro Bowls. |
| 1:11.6 | He's in a thousand-yard guy. We know all that. But his personality, I was talking to some people in Cleveland's building, and they said, one of the great things about Coop, and he's told me this as well over the years, is you know what you're getting every day. He's not going to complain about not getting the football. He's going to run the right route. he's going to be where he's supposed to be. |
| 1:08.6 | And as great as Stefan Diggs was, |
| 1:10.4 | that relationship, Colin, had really run its course. Cooper's going to come in, be a professional. Plus, he's going to be motivated. He's going to be a free agent after this year. And oh, by the way, he's only making $800,000. This was a very sensible move by Buffalo. And should he play really well in leaving |
| 1:45.0 | free agency, the bills could get back as much as a comp 5 fifth round pick. So a lot of really good |
| 1:50.0 | value in general for the bills. And I don't think they're necessarily done yet. I think |
| 1:53.7 | linebacker and safety for them could be another move or two. Andre Cisco is a guy. A lot of teams |
| 1:59.1 | really like that in Jacksonville. Really good player. Devin Lloyd. So there's two players, Jacksonville, that people are targeting. I don't know if they're going to move those guys, but those are two names that I've heard as teams coveting. We'll see how Jacksonville does the next couple weeks. And then also, you know, if you're the bills, you don't have Matt Milano, your pro bowler back till December. You've had Terrell Bernard injured. |
