Just as quickly as he reappeared, Amari Cooper is gone again. The Las Vegas Raiders were one of a number of NFL teams to welcome back a familiar face at wide receiver this offseason, signing the veteran and former first-round pick to fortify their depth, but he no longer wants to play.
Cooper is still just 31 years old, but saw a major dropoff in his play last year after two great years with the Browns in 2022 and 2023.
As much as his initial signing with the Raiders took everybody off guard, the news of his retirement is even more shocking.
