The Browns Tried To Trade Amari Cooper To The 49ers So He Posted "Lol I Wouldn't Mind At All" On His Instagram
So news came out yesterday that the Browns and 49ers had agreed on specifics regarding a trade that would bring Brandon Aiyuk to Cleveland. The only problem was that Brandon Aiyuk does not want to come to Cleveland. Wonder why? But either way, the cat is out of the bag that if Aiyuk had given his blessing, Amari Cooper would be packing his bags and heading west today.
Now I want to start by saying that I'm glad Aiyuk said no. I don't like that trade one bit. But the bigger concern was, would Amari Cooper feel slighted about being expendable to his current team? The initial reaction online last night when this story broke was that Amari is a Pros-Pro and would be just fine. But then he took to his Instagram story:

FUCK.
Maybe someone asked him if he'd mind upgrading to 1st class on his flight? Maybe someone asked him if he was okay with a large soda with no extra fee because they were out of medium cups? But no, it seems like he is straight up saying he wouldn't mind the Browns sending him somewhere.
And don't get me wrong, I understand why someone would be okay with going to the 49ers from the Browns. Better weather, better team, and the same pay. I wouldn't mind at all either. But I'm hoping that's all it meant. I'm hoping it doesn't have a big component of "I wouldn't mind" leaving Cleveland to it. And he shouldn't!! The Browns fully guaranteed his deal and gave him more money this season. He can be mad we think Brandon Aiyuk is better than him both now and in the future, but come on dude, Cleveland hasn't treated you that poorly. It's been a great relationship thus far. I mean, the dude has had 150 catches 2,410 yards 14 touchdowns, and been a Pro Bowler since coming to the Browns for a 5th round pick. He's been so awesome for us and after a record year, the idea of him being expendable probably hurt his feelings. I still think Amari will be the same Amari on the field for us, but if this could not turn into an Odell Beckham situation, that'd be great.
