When the Buffalo Bills first acquired Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns last season, the organization hoped that they would be to have a quality top-flight receiver to aid their offense.

That didn’t end up happening, though.

Cooper caught just 20 passes for under 300 yards through his eight games with the Bills. … continuing a fade that occurred as part of his goodbye from the Dallas Cowboys, who once gave him a $100 million contract.

And now?

The five-time Pro Bowl wideout is now 30 years old, and well past the prime of his career.

That doesn’t mean he can’t be serviceable. ESPN analyst Matt Bowen suggested that the New York Jets should inquire about bringing Cooper to the franchise in Florham Park.

“There’s a need for competition in the Jets‘ wide receiver room opposite of No. 1 option Garrett Wilson,” Bowen said. “With Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds next on the depth chart, Cooper could come in and fight for work. Yes, the 30-year-old is showing signs of decline on tape, but he is still a detailed route runner who can uncover.

“He could be a solid target for quarterback Justin Fields on play-action concepts, getting open on deep in-breakers.”

There is no guarantee that the Jets will look to bring Cooper onto the roster. There isn’t even a guarantee that Cooper would be able to produce at the level he was known for with the Dallas Cowboys or Las Vegas Raiders.

Even so, Cooper’s struggles in Buffalo show he may be past his prime.

That’s fine with the Cowboys, who have ignored rumors about a reunion and instead traded for George Pickens.

And that’s fine with the Bills, too. They have done everything they have needed to bolster their own receiving core, without needing an aging veteran to bolster the group.
