The news broke shortly after the Broncos agreed to trade fellow pass rusher Baron Browning to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday.
Browning and Cooper were teammates at Ohio State and they were both picked by Denver in the 2021 NFL draft -- Browning in the third round and Cooper in the seventh round.
Browning struggled with injuries during his time with the Broncos and totaled 9.5 sacks in 43 career games, with no sacks this season. Cooper exceeded expectations and recorded 18.5 sacks in 56 games, including 5.5 sacks through nine starts this season.
