Veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper retires 9 days after signing with Raiders
Amari Cooper ends his 10-season NFL career with 711 receptions, 10,033 yards, and 64 touchdowns after informing the Raiders he no longer desires to play.
- Amari Cooper informed the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday that `he no longer has the desire to play and intends to retire`, ending his brief reunion just over one week after rejoining.
- Earlier this year Cooper became an unrestricted free agent on March 12 and said he felt he had `unfinished business` with the Raiders, prompting his late-preseason return.
- Across 10 seasons, Amari Cooper recorded 711 receptions for 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns, including seven 1,000-yard seasons and a career-high 1,250 receiving yards in 2023.
- Days before Sunday’s opener, Cooper's decision leaves the Las Vegas Raiders with four receivers on the 53-man roster: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech, forcing coaches to finalize plans.
- At 31, Cooper's abrupt choice highlights a shift toward prioritizing health as his down 2024 season totaled only 44 catches for 547 yards amid injuries.
