Winners and losers in Bills' trade with Browns for Amari Cooper

The Buffalo Bills are 4-2 after defeating the New York Jets on Monday night, and they instantly got better. The Bills acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns, giving them a definitive X receiver in an offense that was in desperate need of one. So who are the biggest winners and losers from the trade?

Winner: Josh Allen

Allen went 9-of-30 against the Texans in Week 5 when Khalil Shakir wasn't in the lineup. Now having Cooper gives him not just a defined No. 1, but also a clear No. 2 in Shakir and helps solidify the roles of every other receiver.

Loser: Deshaun Watson

I mean, he was already playing awful football and now he'll have one less good receiver to try to distribute to.

Winner: Running game

The Bills running game will be even more dangerous as a result of landing Cooper. Defenses may have been able to key in on the run game through the first five weeks considering the lack of talent at receiver. Now, though, you have to respect the talent the Bills have for Josh Allen to distribute to.

Loser: Browns fans

This team is absolutely sunk and they know it. At 1-5, the Browns have come sellers ahead of the trade deadline and have their sights set on 2025, while their fans have theirs set on a life without watching Deshaun Watson as their quarterback.
