NFL Fans React To The Blockbuster Amari Cooper Trade

The New York Jets aren't the only team making a big-time trade the day after Monday Night Football. Mere hours after Davante Adams boarded a plane to New Jersey, another Pro Bowl wideout boarded a plane to upstate New York.
According to multiple NFL insiders, the Bills have acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. Per the reports, the Bills are sending a third- and seventh-round pick in upcoming NFL drafts in exchange for Cooper and a sixth-round pick.
It's been an historically slow start for Cooper as he's had just 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns through six games. He is on pace for the lowest yards per game of his career at 41.7 right now.

Fans - particular Buffalo bills fans - were stunned by the move, while others took it as an opportunity to rip the Browns for making it.
"I like this soooo much for Buffalo," one user remarked.
"Someone needs to ask (Browns coach) Kevin Stefanski if this also gives the Browns the best chance to win," another fan joked.
"That makes perfect sense. The Browns have entered full on tank mode. They know their season is over," a third wrote.
The Bills and Jets both have Super Bowl ambitions this year and are clearly ready to go all-in.
