Amari Cooper said exactly what Raiders fans wanted to hear upon return to franchise

The Las Vegas Raiders made a big-time move in the wide receiver room on Monday as they signed Amari Cooper to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million. The signing brings the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft back to the franchise that drafted him.

He was traded just three-and-a-half years into his career, however, in exchange for a first-round pick that turned into Johnathan Abram. The deal, which came less than two months after Khalil Mack was shipped out, left a bad taste in the mouths of plenty of Raiders fans. The two players shared an agent, Joel Segal, who was reportedly feuding with then-head coach Jon Gruden.
