Amari Cooper Signs One-Year Deal With Raiders Amid Browns Quarterback Uncertainty

The Cleveland Browns are facing significant roster uncertainties as they approach the 2025 NFL season. Notably, former Browns receiver Amari Cooper has signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, ending speculation about a possible reunion with Cleveland, which is focusing on developing its current wide receiver group including Jerry Jeudy, Diontae Johnson, and Isaiah Bond. The Browns' quarterback situation remains highly unusual, as they plan to carry four quarterbacks on their final 53-man roster—Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders—despite the historical trend of such approaches not leading to postseason success. Controversy surrounds rookie QB Shedeur Sanders, with conspiracy theories claim the coaching staff deliberately limited his preseason opportunities to justify a potential release, a notion dismissed by many but amplified by former NFL players. Additionally, the Browns are monitoring running back options amid uncertainty surrounding second-round pick Quinshon Judkins, with potential interest in Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime as a contingency. Overall, the Browns appear to be navigating a complex offseason with many roster battles and strategic decisions ahead of the roster cut deadline.
