Amari Cooper intends to retire from the NFL after 10 seasons, informing the Las Vegas Raiders that he no longer wants to play football just days before 2025 season starts.
Veteran NFL wide receiver Amari Cooper has informed the Las Vegas Raiders that he no longer wants to play football and intends to retire ahead of the 2025 season.
Cooper, who has played for the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills, began his career with the Raiders, which made signing with the team just over a week ago especially meaningful. He said he had some juice left in the tank to continue playing.
But before Week 1 began, the NFL Network reported that Cooper struggled to ramp up to game readiness. In turn, the 31-year-old is walking away from the league after 10 seasons.
