Eagles corner Darius Slay has high praise for Browns WR Amari Cooper

Star wide receiver Amari Cooper is looking for a new contract to cash in on his success since joining the Cleveland Browns. And Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowler Darius Slay thinks he deserves every penny.

While appearing on Chris Long’s podcast Green Light, Eagles Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay was asked who the most underappreciated wide receiver in the NFL is. Slay named Cooper and said he isn’t being treated right by the Browns since they haven’t given him the new payday he seeks.

That doesn’t completely match up, as the Browns have been engaging with Cooper’s agents on a new deal that includes a pay raise this season but haven’t reached an agreement yet. But I wholeheartedly agree that he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves from fans and some media members that he deserves.

I would be shocked if the team doesn’t get a contract extension and pay raise with Cooper done before the season starts.
