49ers | San Francisco makes three moves Tue Oct 24, 03:29 PM
Free-agent CB Leon Hall (49ers) was re-signed by the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday, Oct. 24. Additionally, TE Logan Paulsen and DT Xavier Cooper were released.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick of the Browns in the 2015 NFL draft, Cooper has not made any impact at the pro level. The 49ers picked him up in early September, and Cooper couldn't make it in two months as a rotational player on a defense that could use depth on the defensive line. |

Browns | Coaches intrigued with Xavier Cooper Sat Jul 16, 12:05 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Xavier Cooper is an intriguing player for the coaching staff because of his speed. They believe he has a chance to make an impact as a pass rusher.
| Footballguys view: We liked Cooper in last year's draft class. A third-round pick out of Washington State, Cooper has the quickness and burst to create pressure from the edge. He played 345 snaps in 14 games as a rookie in 2015 and had 1.5 sacks. We'll see if he can do more this year. |

Browns | Several in mix at defensive end Wed Jul 13, 12:22 AM

DE Armonty Bryant will also be in the mix once he serves his four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Steelers | Three draft prospects visit Wed Apr 15, 07:41 AM
Washington State DT Xavier Cooper, Ohio State TE Jeff Heuerman, and UAB TE Kennard Backman came to the Pittsburgh Steelers Tuesday, April 14, for a pre-draft visit.
| Footballguys view: Cooper is the guy we'd like to highlight here. He's an agile defensive tackle who can knife through the offensive line to create pressure on the quarterback. Cooper has good athleticism and lateral movement, but he needs to play with more power if he's going to be more than a part-time player at the pro level. He's likely a third-round pick. |
