Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper seems to be well aware of the trade buzz surrounding his team.

Over the past couple of weeks, the Browns have been widely reported as one of the trade suitors for disgruntled San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk. Cooper’s name has come up as a likely inclusion in any trade package for Aiyuk should a deal come to fruition.

On Friday, Cooper posted a six-word message on his Instagram story that some felt may be about the trade rumors.

“lol I wouldn’t mind at all,” Cooper’s post read.

Several fans were convinced that Cooper was talking about the idea of being traded to San Francisco. With Kyle Shanahan at the helm, the 49ers have one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. A veteran like Cooper could turn into a key cog for a 49ers squad expected to contend for a Super Bowl this season.

Some other fans believed Cooper was actually referencing the idea of the Browns trading for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who’s been in the middle of his own contract standoff with the Dallas Cowboys .

There’s also the possibility that Cooper’s post was about something else entirely. But given the cryptic nature of the post in the midst of several trade rumors, Cooper was likely aware that such a message would cause a stir.

Browns fans hoping for an Aiyuk trade, whether or not such a deal includes Cooper, may very well end up disappointed. The 49ers wide receiver reportedly doesn’t share the same interest in moving to Cleveland .
