Wide receiver Amari Cooper posted a cryptic message on his social media following his trade from the Browns to the Bills.
Cooper was outplayed from Cleveland’s 1-5 team on Tuesday.
And the next day, he appeared to take a stab at his now ex-franchise, writing “Move or rest” on his Instagram Story.
Fans interpreted the message to mean that he should leave the Browns for the betterment of his career.
‘Thanks Amari! I’m a Browns and Cowboys fan. It’s probably the best thing that happened to you’, one wrote on X. “You can get off this train now and pursue a championship. Success.

Another one said“Good luck in Buffalo, he was wasting his career at CLE. Finally a solid QB…he won’t have any more drops this season. The Browns have treated him like s**t since camp…he’s lucky to have come out of the s**tstorm and be able to play real football again.”
Cooper now joins a 4-2 Bills team with realistic hopes of winning a Super Bowl behind quarterback Josh Allen.
The wideout made the playoffs last year with Cleveland, but never advanced beyond the divisional round (with the Cowboys) in his career.
As noted by NFL Network’s Tom PelisseroCooper — who was landed in exchange for a third-round pick and a late-round pick swap — will cost the Bills about $800,000 this season.
The Browns previously converted his $18.79 million salary for this season into a signing bonus.
Additionally, the Bills were reportedly interested in Davante Adams, who eventually reunited with his good friend Aaron Rodgers on the Jets.
