Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cooper and the Browns have agreed to a restructured contract that guarantees his $20 million salary with a chance for an additional $5 million in incentives.
The Browns will give Cooper half of the guaranteed salary as a signing bonus.
Cooper is entering the final year of a five-year, $100 million contract he signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. In March 2022, the Browns traded a 2022 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick swap to the Dallas Cowboys to acquire Cooper.
As a result of the increasing market for receivers, Cooper skipped the mandatory minicamp in hopes of signing a new contract.
With the restructured deal, Cooper makes $10 million in one day and gets a chance at the raise he desires. Cooper, 30, will still become an unrestricted free agent following the 2024-2024 season.
