Brandon Beane defended the trade for Amari Cooper, but ultimately, the production was not there for the veteran wide receiver.

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.

Some fans have wondered about Amari Cooper’s involvement in Bills offense. Cooper has “absolutely no complaints.” “Winning is way more important & that’s all I truly want. I’ve had it every other way, & haven’t reached the pinnacle of this sport of how I would have liked.” pic.twitter.com/jqjhFNMPWY

Amari Cooper has enough catches, yards and touchdowns over his 10-year NFL career to satisfy his ego. What’s missing in the 30-year-old’s career is playoff success, and Cooper wouldn’t trade this run to the AFC championship game he’s enjoying with the Buffalo Bills for anything.

The Bills Bills also shed some light on the injury that sidelined the veteran soon after he got to Orchard Park.

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.
