While all eyes are on Amari Cooper's route running during training camp, it’s his actions off the field that are sparking discussion. Sources inside the Browns facility reveal Cooper has taken several rookies under his wing, covering their meals, organizing extra workouts, and even offering emotional support to teammates navigating personal struggles.

“He’s doing everything right — the kind of stuff that doesn’t show up on stat sheets,” one staffer shared. “Helping a guy through homesickness, making sure someone’s car gets fixed, that kind of thing.”

Yet some fans are questioning the timing of these generous gestures. With Cooper entering a pivotal contract phase and rumors of a possible trade or restructure swirling, is this his way of leaving a legacy — or softening the exit?

Whatever the case, it’s clear Cooper’s influence is felt far beyond game day. The locker room respects him. The coaches trust him. But the front office? That’s still a question mark.

Debate is heating up: Is Amari Cleveland’s quiet captain — or preparing to walk away on his own terms?
