Five-Time Pro Bowler and veteran WR retires on eve of NFL season after reunion signing

Amari Cooper signed with the Las Vegas Raiders just nine days ago for a reunion season with his former team.

Cooper was a number four overall pick out of the University of Alabama during the 2015 NFL Draft for the then Oakland Raiders. He would spend four seasons with the team before being sent to the Dallas Cowboys, where he would spend four seasons. His career would also see him spend some time with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.

He would decide to hang up his cleats after signing with the Raiders to come back where it all started to end his career, but Cooper would have a change of heart and inform the team that he had decided to retire earlier than expected.

Throughout the course of his career, Cooper would have 711 catches for just over 10,000 yards and 64 touchdowns.

This was initially reported by the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport
