Raiders rookie is now under a microscope after sudden Amari Cooper retirement

The Las Vegas Raiders and their fan base have been optimistic about the offense heading into the 2025 NFL season. Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty and Jakobi Meyers are a dynamic trio, and Geno Smith is a quarterback who can get the most out of them.

While Raider Nation has been excited about the team's young pass-catchers as well, the new regime in Las Vegas recently brought back veteran wideout Amari Cooper for a reunion just before the season began. He was expected to play a key role right away in Chip Kelly's offense.

However, he suddenly retired on Thursday afternoon, just three days before the season opener against the New England Patriots.
