"Wide receiver Amari Cooper has informed the Las Vegas Raiders that intends to retire just days before the team will open the 2025 season at New England, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday. His decision comes after he told reporters last week, "trust me, I still got some juice left." Cooper, 31, had signed with the Raiders late last month."
"In 52 career games with the Silver and Black, Cooper totaled 225 catches for 3,183 yards and 19 touchdowns. He surpassed 1,000 yards in his first two seasons. The Raiders traded Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys during the 2018 season. The Cowboys then traded him to the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 offseason, and the Buffalo Bills acquired him last October from the Browns."
Amari Cooper informed the Las Vegas Raiders that he intends to retire just days before the team opens the 2025 season at New England. Cooper, 31, had signed with the Raiders late last month, ending a potential reunion with the franchise that drafted him fourth overall in 2015 when it was based in Oakland. The retirement leaves the Raiders with four wide receivers on the 53-man roster: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech. Cooper finishes with 711 receptions, 10,033 receiving yards and 64 touchdowns, including seven 1,000-yard seasons and a career-high 1,250 yards in 2023. His career included trades to Dallas, Cleveland and Buffalo.
