Last season was a challenging one for Amari Cooper, marking the low point in what has otherwise been a remarkable NFL career. Although he became only the 57th player in league history to surpass 10,000 receiving yards, at 30 years old, his 2024 performance—including 44 receptions, 547 yards, and four touchdowns—was the weakest output across his decade-long career.
The Buffalo Bills acquired Cooper in a trade back in October, sending a few late-round draft picks to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns decided to part ways with Cooper as he is set to become a free agent this offseason.
deereplanet.com has outlined the following probabilities regarding Cooper's potential signings in free agency. These odds are meant for entertainment and information purposes only. OurBuffalo Bills betting guide provide updates and information throughout the team's offseason.

During his eight games with the Bills, Cooper achieved 20 receptions for a total of 297 yards and scored two touchdowns. Despite his underwhelming production, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has indicated that the AFC East champions are considering re-signing him, believing that a full offseason working with quarterback Josh Allen could help Cooper regain his previous form recognized by five Pro Bowl selections.
This past season, for the first time since Josh Allen's rookie year in 2018, the Bills didn't feature a receiver with 1,000 yards. If the Bills choose to retain Cooper, it may reflect their belief that he could help fill the gap left when they traded Stefon Diggs to Houston in April 2024 for a second-round pick in this year's draft.Ontario sportsbooks will offer numerous prop bets on Cooper, no matter where he signs for the upcoming season.
After spending the last three seasons with the Browns and Bills, Cooper appears to be on track for a potential return to the Dallas Cowboys, the team he played for from 2018 to 2021, which currently leads with +250 odds for securing his services. Reflecting on his time in Texas, Cooper enjoyed significant success, amassing 3,893 receiving yards, scoring 27 touchdowns, and making 292 catches in 56 games, contributing to 31 AV with the team (out of his total 83 AV across 10 seasons).
Another team that could be vying for Cooper's talent this offseason is the Las Vegas Raiders, the franchise that selected him as the fourth overall pick out of Alabama in 2015, holding +650 odds of bringing him back to Las Vegas in 2025.
While most of Cooper's achievements in the NFL were with the Cowboys, we shouldn't overlook the contributions he made during his four seasons with the Raiders, where he collected 3,183 yards and 19 touchdown receptions across 52 games.
If the Cowboys and Raiders decide against the idea of reuniting with Cooper, expect the other franchises that have previously employed him (the Browns and Bills, both listed at +800) to pursue him, while other potential dark horse candidates include receiver-needy teams like the Denver Broncos (+1000), New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets (+1100 each).
What we do know is that Cooper is officially available on the market after the Bills decided to void the last four years of his five-year, $100 million deal, allowing the veteran receiver the freedom to choose his next destination as the NFL schedule moves towards off-season activities, mini-camps, and training camps.
