The Las Vegas Raiders brought in Amari Cooper last week, reuniting with the veteran wide receiver as a last-ditch effort to bolster the offense ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Unfortunately, just as quickly as he arrived, he left, retiring from the NFL in a shocking move on Thursday.
While Cooper was not with the team for the majority of the offseason, his sudden announcement was still disappointing for Raider Nation. His chance at redemption with the Silver and Black has been squandered, and it is a brutal reminder of the team's recent struggles at the wide receiver position.
