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 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.

The season didn’t go as the Cleveland Browns had planned and they had to make some tough decisions due to it. One of those decisions was trading WR Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills ahead of the trade deadline.

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.
