Add Amari Cooper to the list of wide receivers skipping minicamp while looking for a new contract.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Cooper was not present for the start of the Cleveland Browns' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.

Cooper joins a list of receivers skipping minicamp that includes Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers, CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys and Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The situation for Cooper is different than those other receivers. He is set to play out the final season of a five-year, $100 million contract extension that was signed in March 2020 when he played for the Dallas Cowboys.

Aiyuk, Lamb and Higgins are seeking their first contract extensions after their rookie deals. Higgins isn't currently under contract because he hasn't signed the $21.8 million franchise tender from the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb is entering the final season of his rookie contract. Aiyuk is signed through the 2025 season.

Cooper has a $20 million base salary this season and will count $23.8 million against the cap. He remains one of the most reliable pass-catchers in the NFL, even as the Browns have struggled to get consistent quarterback play.

The five-time Pro Bowler set career-highs in receiving yards (1,250) and yards per reception (17.4) in 15 starts last season. He has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in seven of his first nine seasons, including each of his first two years in Cleveland.

Cooper's age could also work against him in contract talks with the Browns. He will turn 30 on June 17. Mike Evans, Keenan Allen, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins and Adam Thielen were the only receivers who spent the entire 2023 season at the age of 30 or older and finished with more than 1,000 yards.

The Browns are also in a situation with Deshaun Watson's fully-guaranteed contract that runs through 2026 where they may not have as much wiggle room with the cap as some teams do. They are already projected to be $42.9 million over the cap next year.

Cooper's body of work warrants a new deal, but the combination of his age and the cap ramifications may not make it viable for the Browns. It's a situation the two sides will work to resolve, one way or another, before the start of the regular season.
