Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is in the market for a lucrative contract. Darius Slay, a cornerback with the Philadelphia Eagles, believes that Cooper deserves it. In an appearance on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, Slay expressed his belief that Cooper is not receiving the recognition or compensation that he is due. He considers Cooper to be the most underappreciated receiver in the league.
Slay commended Cooper for his consistency regardless of the team he plays for or the quarterback throwing to him. He specifically mentioned Cooper’s performance with Joe Flacco last season as evidence of his value as a player. Slay noted that it seems like Cleveland is reluctant to offer Cooper the contract he desires, despite his value to the team.
Despite Browns General Manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledging the value that Cooper brings to the team, a mutually beneficial contract agreement has yet to be reached. Slay’s endorsement of Cooper’s skills and contributions further underscores the importance of compensating him appropriately for his performance on the field.
