Buccaneers Signing CB Chris Cooper To Futures Deal

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they are signing CB Chris Cooper to a reserve/futures deal. 

Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will give players the opportunity to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.

Here is a list of players who have been signed to futures deal for next season by the Buccaneers:

1.  K Jose Borregales
2. RB Kenjon Barner
3. TE Codey McElroy
4. G John Molchon
5. OLB Elijah Ponder
6. DL Benning Potoa’e
7. DL Will Previlon
8. DL Kobe Smith
9. CB Rashard Robinson
10. S Troy Warner

Cooper, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Stony Brook in 2019. He later signed a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Falcons but was waived coming out of the preseason.

The Falcons did re-sign Cooper to their practice squad before calling him up in December. He later caught on with the Broncos and returned to Denver on a futures contract before being waived back in June.

Cooper has yet to appear in an NFL game.
