CLEVELAND — The holdout is over. According to multiple reports, the Cleveland Browns and star WR Amari Cooper have agreed to a contract restructure as Cooper enters the final year of his current deal.
After skipping mandatory minicamp this spring in search of a new deal, Cooper and the Browns have agreed to a compromise as the two sides continue to explore a contract extension beyond this year.
The restructure reportedly guarantees Cooper’s $20 million base salary for the 2024-25 season along with an additional $5 million in incentives.
