Amari Cooper remains a free agent as the 2025 NFL Offseason continues to progress. With less wide receivers available, and plenty of teams still needing help at the position, Cooper shouldn’t last on the market much longer.
After spending a season on the Buffalo Bills and playing alongside Josh Allen, he was able to improve his stock a bit to show teams that he can still provide value. There is a team in the AFC that could utilize Cooper’s talents.
Houston Texans Signing Amari Cooper
The Texans have not had a very impactful free agency period to give fans confidence in the team. They have at least started to add to the offensive line, which means the Houston Texans’ focus now turns towards adding more wide receiver talent.
The Houston Texans Need Wide Receiver Help
When Tank Dell went down when the Texans faced the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season, so did the production for CJ Stroud. It left truly just Nico Collins as the primary receiver, and teams knew this. With Dell expected to miss all of next season, Houston needs to get Stroud more help.
While the Texans could look towards the NFL Draft to add younger wide receiver talent, they need the experience. With Stroud still young himself, and looking to bounce back from a sophomore slump season, having an already established NFL talent would pay dividends.
That help could very well come in the form of Amari Cooper.
Amari Cooper’s Impact for Houston
Cooper this past season had accumulated 588 yards and four touchdowns, while also averaging 11.8 yards per reception. With the Bills, Cooper had that production despite heavily competing for target share with Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox and an offense that heavily features the run too with James Cook and Allen. If Cooper has a full offseason to adjust to an offense, he can provide more of an instant impact
At 6’1, 210 pounds, Cooper would provide the big-bodied, contested catch receiver that Houston needs. Cooper would become a top target for Stroud early on, and help balance out the offense that needs more help than just Collins.
