Saints unlikely to pursue Amari Cooper after signing Cooks

The New Orleans Saints are looking to strengthen their wide receiver position as they start the 2025 offseason. The team recently lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Seattle Seahawks and is concerned about Chris Olave's health. Olave has struggled with injuries during his career. To help fill this gap, the Saints signed Brandin Cooks. However, they may still need more depth at the wide receiver position. Pro Football Focus' Zoltan Buday suggested that the Saints consider Amari Cooper, a former Buffalo Bills receiver. Cooper had a tough season in 2024, finishing with a lower grade compared to previous years. He played for both the Cleveland Browns and Bills, missing some games due to injury. Although some worry he may be declining, there are reasons for his struggles, like poor quarterback play in Cleveland. Despite the interest in Cooper, it seems unlikely he will join the Saints. With the addition of Cooks and existing players like Olave and Rashid Shaheed, there may not be enough room for Cooper. Furthermore, he is likely looking for a team where he can have a bigger role.
