Josh Cooper player page Vikings | Josh Cooper signs Fri Jun 13, 02:02 PM
The Minnesota Vikings signed unrestricted free-agent WR Josh Cooper (Browns) Friday, June 13. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Cooper played under new Vikings OC Norv Turner in Cleveland last year. The Browns are desperate for WR help, but they let Cooper go--not a great sign for his chances of making the 53-man roster with the Vikings. |
Browns | Release eight Mon May 19, 05:33 PM
Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer announced the team has waived the following players Monday, May 19: RB Jamaine Cook, WR Joshua Cooper, OL Anthony Dima, WR Tori Gurley, DL Elhadji Ndiaye, OL Michael Philipp, FB Chris Pressley and TE Andre P. Smith.

Browns | Two moves made Wed Nov 20, 10:09 AM
The Cleveland Browns placed WR Armanti Edwards (ankle) on Injured Reserve. WR Joshua Cooper was signed from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Edwards wasn't much of a fantasy factor, so Cooper won't be either. Cooper is extremely fast and can make plays as a return man. |

Browns | Greg Little worked out with QB in Oklahoma Mon Jul 22, 11:57 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Greg Little traveled to Oklahoma earlier this month to spend three days working out and running routes with QB Brandon Weeden. 'I worked with a big group of guys,' Weeden said Monday, July 22. 'Obviously, (WR Joshua Cooper) was out there. But it was good. It was good Greg came down. We got three really hard days of work. I threw until I couldn't throw anymore and he ran until he couldn't run anymore, so we got a lot of work in.'
| Footballguys view: Little is growing into his potential and we like hearing about his dedication to the game. He could be the favorite target of Weeden in 2013, especially early in the year while WR Josh Gordon is serving a two game suspension. |

Browns | Josh Cooper expects to be active Fri Nov 2, 02:00 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cooper said he expects to be active in the team's Week 9 game even with WR Mohamed Massaquoi returning.
| Footballguys view: We'd like to see Cooper more involved in the offense going forward. He was a favorite target of Brandon Weeden in college at Oklahoma State (behind Justin Blackmon) and they have natural chemistry. |

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said the team will still try to get playing time for WR Joshua Cooper even though WRs Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) and Travis Benjamin (hamstring) are getting healthier.
| Footballguys view: Cooper has good chemistry with QB Brandon Weeden from their playing days together in college at Oklahoma State. It only makes sense to keep him involved as a reserve receiver. |

Browns | Joshua Cooper happy to work with college QB Fri Oct 12, 09:51 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cooper will get a chance to work with his college quarterback, rookie QB Brandon Weeden, in the Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is hopeful they can connect in the pros. 'It's unbelievable,' Cooper said Friday, Oct. 12. 'It's something you don't really see happy too much with the other players.'
| Footballguys view: Jordan Norwood put up nice PPR numbers in this role last week. Cooper could be a surprise producer with his college quarterback in an offense bereft of reliable wide receivers. He should be picked up in deep PPR leagues. |

Cleveland Browns WRs Joshua Cooper and Jordan Norwood are expected to be the primary candidates for the slot receiver job during training camp and the preseason.

Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cooper likely would be used as a slot receiver if he is able to make the final roster.

Browns | Joshua Cribbs to be busy on special teams Sun Jun 17, 10:01 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cribbs is expected to see heavy duty on special teams this season. The team is hopeful that WRs Joshua Cooper or Jordan Norwood will step up as the third receiver behind WRs Greg Little and Mohamed Massaquoi rather than Cribbs serving as the No. 3 WR.
| Footballguys view: This new, reduced role for Cribbs on offense will limit his low fantasy value. Cribbs has increased value in leagues that reward points for players who get return yards. |

Browns | Joshua Cooper turning heads in workouts Sun Jun 10, 11:41 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cooper has been more impressive than WR Carlton Mitchell during workouts, and the team likes Cooper's hands. Cooper caught 139 passes over the past two seasons at Oklahoma State pairing with QB Brandon Weeden.
| Footballguys view: Cooper could be a great security blanket for Weeden in the slot with Greg Little and Mo Massaquoi on the outside. Mitchell has great speed and athleticism, but still hasn't overcome the label of a raw wide receiver coming out of college. |
