Raiders' Amari Cooper: Announces surprise retirement
Amari Cooper announced Thursday that he does not intend to play for the Las Vegas Raiders this season and is instead retiring from the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Cooper signed with Las Vegas in late August and appeared primed to immediately operate as a key pass catcher for the team, but the veteran wideout has instead decided to hang up the cleats just ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Patriots. In the wake of Cooper's retirement, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech are positioned for increasingly key roles behind No. 1 wideout Jakobi Meyers, with TE Brock Bowers still the focal point of the Raiders' aerial attack. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Cooper's abrupt retirement relates to difficulties he experienced ramping up after spending most of the offseason unsigned.

Raiders' Amari Cooper: Signing with Raiders
Amari Cooper is signing a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.On the same day reports surfaced that Jakobi Meyers is seeking a trade, the Raiders move to bolster their wideout depth. Once Cooper is up to speed with the team's offense, he should have an immediate opportunity to make his mark in a pass-catching corps that otherwise features Meyers (for now, at least) and TE Brock Bowers. In six games with the Browns and eight with the Bills in 2024, the 31-year-old -- who the Raiders drafted fourth overall in 2015 -- combined to record a 44-547-4 line on 85 targets.

Bills' Amari Cooper: Free agent following AFCCG loss
Amari Cooper caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.Cooper wasn't the difference-maker the Buffalo Bills had hoped for after they gave up a third-round draft pick to acquire him from the Browns. The 30-year-old wide receiver proceeded to catch 20 of 32 targets for 297 yards and two touchdowns in eight regular-season games for Buffalo and added only six catches for 41 yards on eight targets across three playoff outings. Cooper's best days appear to be behind him, but with seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the unrestricted free agent is likely to draw some interest on the open market.

Bills' Amari Cooper: Non-factor in divisional-round win
Amari Cooper didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-25 AFC divisional-round win over the Ravens.Cooper has just eight yards through two playoff games, as the veteran wide receiver has failed to step up in the postseason. Josh Allen threw for only 127 yards as the Buffalo Bills rode three rushing touchdowns and a 3-0 edge in the turnover battle to a berth in the AFC Championship Game, but Cooper could be more involved in Kansas City if Buffalo's forced into a more pass-heavy game plan.

Bills' Amari Cooper: Not playing Sunday
Amari Cooper will not travel with the team Saturday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots due to a personal matter.Unlike a handful of other teams in a similar spot Week 18 with zero playoff implications to play for, the Buffalo Bills haven't technically ruled out any of their projected starters even though the assumption is the majority will see little playing time in the meaningless precursor to the wild-card playoff round the following week. Cooper will finish his 2024 regular season with 547 receiving yards, the fewest of his 10-year career.

Bills' Amari Cooper: Surpasses 10,000 career yards
Amari Cooper caught all three of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.Cooper's first two catches put him over 10,000 career receiving yards, and he celebrated the milestone in style by coming down with a contested catch for a 30-yard touchdown in the third quarter. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Cooper, who had just one catch over the previous two games combined. Cooper may not play against the Patriots in Week 18 since the Buffalo Bills have secured the No. 2 seed in the AFC and can't move up or down.
