WR Amari Cooper informs Raiders he is retiring

Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Amari Cooper informed the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday that he is retiring, ending a 10-season career.
Cooper informed head coach Pete Carroll of his decision, Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly said.
"It's unfortunate, because I think the world of (Cooper)," Kelly said. "He's a heck of a football player, he's had a heck of an NFL career. But he knows in his heart what he wants to do, so I wish him the best, and I've always been a big fan of his."
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).
