That noise has picked up even more on Monday as the <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/team/cleveland-browns" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Cleveland Browns </a> and <a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/amari-cooper/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Amari Cooper </a> have still not come to an agreement on an extension and <a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/brandon-aiyuk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Brandon Aiyuk </a> posted a cryptic video on TikTok. Cooper recently held out of mandatory minicamp with the Browns as he searches for an extension. June 17th is Amari Cooper's birthday and the team wished him a happy birthday on social media on Monday morning. <figure><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Happy birthday <a href="https://twitter.com/AmariCooper9?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @AmariCooper9 </a> ! <a href="https://t.co/vRl2zMNesM" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/vRl2zMNesM </a> — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) <a href="https://twitter.com/Browns/status/1802687696713949267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> June 17, 2024 </a></blockquote></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> Cooper's birthday is not what has his name trending in NFL circles. Instead, rumored issues in agreeing on the length and security of a contract extension has taken center stage. According to <a href="https://247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/article/cleveland-browns-contract-offer-amari-cooper--232957300/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Brad Stainbrook of the Orange and Brown Report on 247 Sports </a> , contract negotiations remain ongoing between the Cleveland Browns and Cooper's camp. As other big name wide receivers hit massive paydays recently, including Justin Jefferson, Jaylen Waddle, Amon-Ra St. Brown, A.J. Brown and Nico Collins, it was easy to wonder if money would become an issue in negotiations with Cooper. Rather than money, the potential issue might actually be the length of the extension. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Jml9b_0tuTTae200" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Jml9b_0tuTTae200" width="912" height="513" ><figcaption>Dec 24, 2023; Houston, Texas, USA; Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (2) on the sideline during the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.

The Browns are reluctant in doing so and have stuck to the offer of a one-year extension. For a few months now, there has been serious speculation that the <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/team/san-francisco-49ers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> San Francisco 49ers </a> do not intend to proceed with both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel Sr. at wide receiver. When the 49ers drafted Ricky Pearsall with pick 31 overall in this year's draft, those rumors picked up even more. On Monday, Aiyuk posted a video of him speaking with former college teammate Jayden Daniels on FaceTime. In the video, Aiyuk tells Daniels, "They say they don't want me back." Whether that refers to the 49ers or something else, it is hard to tell based on the 27-second video. The general assumption appears to be that the 49ers plan to proceed with Samuel and Pearsall, while looking to deal Aiyuk. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Here we go … Brandon Aiyuk on TikTok: “I’m laughing but I’m crying fr” Jayden Daniels: “What happened bro” Aiyuk : “They said they don’t want me back… I swear” (h/t: <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Yac?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> @Coach_Yac </a> ) <a href="https://t.co/BKOjDJvjDI" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/BKOjDJvjDI </a> — JPAFootball (@jasrifootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/jasrifootball/status/1802727517544952186?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> June 17, 2024 </a></blockquote></figure><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> The <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/team/washington-football" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Washington Commanders </a> could certainly be a landing spot for Aiyuk if this is all true. Not only did the rookie quarterback in Daniels and Aiyuk play together at Arizona State, but the two have seemingly stayed very close friends. Pairing Aiyuk with Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson could be advantageous for their offensive success and Washington has the future picks to make this happen. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> An interesting rumor was posted on X by NFL Notifications later in the day. The account that currently has 45.4 thousand followers posted that they have been hearing the Browns mentioned in what would be a shocking trade with the 49ers. Reportedly, Amari Cooper would be sent to San Francisco and Brandon Aiyuk would come to Cleveland. <figure><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐑: We have heard that a Amari Cooper for Brandon Aiyuk trade may be an option for the Browns and 49ers. The Browns want to get younger at WR, while the 49ers will only keep one of Samuel or Aiyuk longterm as they are thrilled with Ricky Pearsall. <a href="https://t.co/LDZWany57H" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/LDZWany57H </a> — NFL Notifications (@NFLNotify) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLNotify/status/1802743396945297888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> June 17, 2024 </a></blockquote></figure><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> The difficult thing about this rumor is that there is no identifiable source to where these rumblings have actually started. This could be just speculation or this could have even been discussed in a more serious capacity. We just don't know at this time. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> That being said, this is intriguing from a Browns perspective because the wide receiver room would get younger with Aiyuk only being 26-years-old. Cleveland would not need to worry about extending an aging star receiver. If this were to happen, it would be interesting to see whether Aiyuk or Jerry Jeudy would emerge as WR1 in Cleveland.
