Raiders Bring Back Amari Cooper After Trade Request

On Monday, free agent Amari Cooper signed a one-year deal to rejoin the Las Vegas Raiders, reuniting with the franchise that drafted him in 2015.
With little market interest this offseason, Amari Cooper arrived after his least productive season, totaling 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns, while Jakobi Meyers' trade request added uncertainty to the Raiders' receiver room.
Cooper's résumé includes seven 1,000-yard seasons and 711 receptions with 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns across 10 NFL seasons, including 1,250 receiving yards in 2023.
As a veteran presence, Cooper provides a starting-caliber target and mentor for Geno Smith, becoming the most experienced member of a Raiders receiving corps with three rookies and limited depth.
With under two weeks until kickoff, Amari Cooper, age 31, must quickly integrate with the Raiders before their August 25, 2025 opener against the New England Patriots, with tempered expectations yet hope for contribution.
