The New England Patriots could get a wide receiver from the Browns with this trade


The New England Patriots could get a wide receiver from the Browns with this trade

The New England Patriots are considered a team that may be looking to make a big signing this season.

Recently, Bleacher Report named the Patriots as a possible trade interest for Cleveland Browns star wide receiver Amari Cooper.

With that in mind, the question is what would New England have to give up to get Cooper? Here’s a trade package that could make sense for both parties involved.

The New England Patriots receive: Amari Cooper

Cleveland Browns receive: Kendrick Bourne, third-round pick 2025

In this trade, the Patriots would give up a talented wide receiver like Bourne and a third-round pick. That would be a hefty price, but it would be worth it.

Cooper is the type of No. 1 wide receiver New England needs. He’s 31 years old and could be the team’s best wide receiver for at least three years.

During the 2023 NFL season with the Browns, Cooper caught 72 passes for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns. Those numbers would be a huge improvement at the position for the Patriots.

Drake Maye is also expected to take over as the team’s starting quarterback at some point this season. New England will need to find a way to surround him with more talent.

A rookie quarterback needs as much help as possible. When you look at the Patriots’ current wide receiver corps, there isn’t much to work with. There are plenty of talented young wide receivers, but no one Maye can rely on.

Cleveland would get Bourne, who caught 37 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns in just eight games last year. He would be a solid replacement for Cooper alongside Jerry Jeudy.

Still, the Browns hope to compete for a playoff spot and may not be willing to trade Cooper unless they get a true star wideout in return.

Still, it’s something to keep an eye on. New England needs a top wide receiver and Cooper would be a perfect fit.
