This past season was the worst in Amari Cooper’s stellar NFL career. While he became the 57th player in history to reach 10,000 receiving yards in his career, the 30-year-old 2024 totals in receptions (44), yards (547) and touchdowns (four) were the lowest in his 10-year career.
The Buffalo Bills traded for Cooper in October, dealing a couple of late-round draft picks to get him from the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland was willing to deal the receiver because he is now a free agent in the offseason.
OntarioBets.com has created the following odds for where Cooper will sign as an NFL free agent. These odds are for infotainment purposes only. Our Buffalo Bills betting guide will give you information even during the team’s offseason.
Team | Odds | Percentage Chance |
Dallas Cowboys | +250 | 28.6% |
Las Vegas Raiders | +650 | 13.3% |
Cleveland Browns | +800 | 11.1% |
Buffalo Bills | +800 | 11.1% |
Denver Broncos | +1000 | 9.1% |
New Orleans Saints | +1100 | 8.3% |
New York Jets | +1100 | 8.3% |
The Field | +1000 | 9.1% |
In eight games with the Bills, Cooper caught 20 passes for 297 yards and two scores. Despite the lack of production, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has reported the AFC East champions are contemplating bringing him back, as the possibility of an offseason with Josh Allen could lead to the five-time Pro Bowl receiver returning to form.
This past season marked the first time since Allen’s rookie season in 2018 that the Bills did not have a 1,000-yard receiver. If the Bills resign Cooper, it will likely be because they believe he can still fill the hole created in April 2024 when Buffalo traded Stefon Diggs to Houston for a second-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Ontario sportsbooks will have plenty of prop wagers on Cooper wherever he ends up this upcoming season.
After spending three seasons with the Browns and Bills, it looks like Cooper may be bound for a reunion with the team that employed him from 2018 to 2021, as the Dallas Cowboys lead our odds board for the 30-year-old’s services, at +250. Looking back, Cooper did have a lot of on-field success in the Lone Star State, with 3,893 yards, 27 touchdowns and 292 receptions in 56 games played with the Cowboys, racking up 31 AV with the franchise (out of his career total of 83 AV in 10 NFL seasons).
The other NFL team that could be in on Cooper’s services this offseason is the franchise that drafted him fourth overall out of Alabama back in 2015, as the Las Vegas Raiders hold +650 odds of bringing the veteran wideout back to the Sin City in 2025.
While the bulk of Cooper’s NFL success came with the Cowboys, that’s not to say that his four-year stint with the Raiders was without merit, as Cooper had 3,183 yards and 19 touchdown catches in 52 games played with the AFC West franchise during that run.
Should the Cowboys and Raiders opt to go another way and cancel a reunion with Cooper, expect the other two NFL teams that have employed him (the Browns and Bills, who are co-listed at +800 to land him this offseason) to do so, while longshot candidates include WR-needy teams like the Denver Broncos (+1000), New Orleans Saints and New York Jets (+1100 each).
What we know for sure right now is that Cooper is officially on the open market after the Bills voided the final four years on his five-year, $100 million contract, opening the door for the veteran wide receiver to go wherever suits him as the NFL calendar rolls forward towards OTAs, mini camps and training camp.
