Brandon Beane defended the trade for Amari Cooper, but ultimately, the production was not there for the veteran wide receiver.

The Buffalo Bills are "intrigued" by the idea of bringing back wide receiver Amari Cooper for a full season with Josh Allen, according to ESPN's

Cooper is now set to hit free agency, and there’s a chance the two sides look to continue their partnership. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bills have been happy with Cooper’s presence in the locker room, and they’re “intrigued” by the idea of giving the receiver a full offseason to click with Josh Allen.

The Bills must improve to finally beat the Chiefs and make the Super Bowl. Does a full season of Amari Cooper meet that need?

Buffalo Bills receiver Amari Cooper isn't concerned that he isn't lighting up the stat sheet during the deepest playoff run of his career.

The Buffalo Bills’ trade with the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 15 put a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver into the AFC contender’s lineup. But other than a six-catch, 95-yard performance against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 8, Amari Cooper’s contributions haven’t matched his resume.

Amari Cooper has enough catches, yards and touchdowns over his 10-year NFL career to satisfy his ego. What’s missing in the 30-year-old’s career is playoff success.

The Bills Bills also shed some light on the injury that sidelined the veteran soon after he got to Orchard Park.

Amari Cooper's half-season stint in Buffalo didn’t necessarily go as planned. After being shipped from the Browns to the Bills in October, the veteran wideout was limited to only 20 receptions and a career-worst 37.
