The Las Vegas Raiders were thrown for a loop on Thursday afternoon when wide receiver Amari Cooper suddenly retired. Not only did the move come as a shock, but a disappointment to Raider Nation, who were cheering for a better ending to his tenure with the Silver and Black.
Now, general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll will have to find other solutions at the wide receiver position. Unfortunately, because Cooper retired just three days before the season opener, it is too late to bring someone in from outside the building for Week 1.
