Amari Cooper got a raise from the Cleveland Browns in August when they guaranteed his $20 million for this season while adding $5 million in incentives to his contract. He earned it, as he recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons for the Browns the last two years. But Cleveland fans think Cooper hasn't been playing what he's worth.
During the Browns' 20-16 Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, fans called out Cooper for his poor attitude. He finished with four catches for 35 yards on eight targets.
Here's how fans reacted.

Cooper had a chance to make a big play late in the game. With the Browns down 20-16, Deshaun Watson threw an 82-yard touchdown pass that was called back due to holding.
