Early in the season, Cooper&#8217;s struggles were brushed aside, blamed on poor chemistry with <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/deshaun-watson\/\" title=\"Deshaun Watson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deshaun Watson<\/a>.

Cooper produced just 297 yards and two TDs in eight regular-season games in Western New York. In three postseason games, he averaged 6.8 yards per reception. Woof.<\/p>\n<p>Given his production, it&#8217;s little surprise that the 30-year-old remains a free agent. But that doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s lost the juice, and injuries could help explain his lack of output down the stretch. In the right situation, Cooper can be productive, even if he&#8217;s no longer a No. 1.<\/p>\n<p>The wideout could be buy-low gold for one club.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let&#8217;s look at some potential landing spots for the former first-round pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Free agency took its annual pause last week as clubs filled needs through the 2025 NFL Draft.
