The Broncos selected both Cooper and Browning in the 2021 NFL draft. Browning was a third-round pick while Cooper was a seventh-round selection, but Cooper has been the more productive player in Denver. Three-and-a-half seasons into their NFL careers, Cooper has recorded 193 tackles with 18.5 sacks in 56 games while Browning has recorded 114 tackles with 9.5 sacks in 43 games.

With both set to become free agents next offseason, the Broncos decided to make sure Cooper would stick around as a long-term building block of their defense while moving on from Browning.

Former Ohio State enigma lands $19 million free-agent deal after NFL role change

One former Ohio State Buckeye might not have known where he'd end up during the 2025 NFL free agency period after bouncing around, but the Arizona Cardinals had no interest in losing Baron Browning. Once an off-ball linebacker with the Buckeyes, Browning has become a pass-rushing specialist since entering the NFL.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Cardinals rewarded Browning with a two-year deal worth up to $19 million. Browning produced 14 tackles and two sacks in eight games after he was acquired at the trade deadline.



Arizona originally gave up a 2025 sixth-round pick for Browning. The former Bronco was selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft and racked up 9.5 sacks before the trade. A foot injury in Week 2 limited his ability to break back into the rotation.

Now a rotational pass-rusher, Arizona is banking on his athleticism to be a difference-maker.
