Cooper also saw limited action for the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2019 season.
Cooper's best season as a wideout came for the Cardinals in 2019, when he notched a career-best 25 catches for 243 yards and one receiving touchdown.
The 26-year-old Cooper was an All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 2017 after returning 32 punts for 399 yards and 34 kickoffs for 932 yards and a touchdown.
In 61 career games with the Rams, Cardinals, Bengals and Panthers, Cooper has tallied 55 receptions for 506 yards and two total touchdowns (one receiving, one kick return). He also has 729 punt return yards and 2,523 kick return yards.
