Vasquez-Imagn Images Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper informed the Las Vegas Raiders that he has decided to retire after 10 seasons, NFL Network reported on Thursday.
The news comes on the heels of Cooper telling reporters, "Trust me, I still have some juice left," last week after signing a one-year contract with the organization that made him the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Cooper, 31, played for the then-Oakland Raiders from 2015-18 before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys during the 2018 season. He was traded two more times (to the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills) before becoming a free agent following the 2024 season.
He had 44 receptions for 547 yards and four touchdowns last season in 14 games with the Browns and Bills. All three categories were a career low for Cooper.
Cooper totaled 711 catches for 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns in 154 career games (143 starts).
