Amari Cooper retires shortly after joining Raiders in sudden twist days before opener
NY Post
Amari Cooper needed about a week to realize he’d rather be watching football from his couch.
Cooper surprisingly informed the Raiders he plans to retire a little more than one week after signing with them, according to NFL Network.
The 31-year-old reportedly told the team he “no longer has the desire to play.”
Cooper did not sign during the first wave of free agency and it seemed he might not have a team for the season before the Raiders inked him to a one-year deal on Aug. 26.
The signing marked a reunion with the franchise that selected him — when based in Oakland — with the fourth pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
“It’s nice, man. It’s a good feeling. Feels like a full-circle moment,” Cooper said after signing. “I’m excited about the opportunity, for sure, and I’m ready to embrace it.
