Much has changed since Amari Cooper last played for Raiders.
When Cooper was trading in Dallas in 2018, the team was still in Oakland. Kolton Miller is left only left. Raiders have changed the coaches and front office many times and even added a new minority owner, Tom Brady.
“It’s still Raiders,” Cooper said through the Las Vegas Journal-Review. “It’s fine. It’s a good feeling, a full -time moment. I’m excited for the opportunity and I’m ready to embrace it.”
Cooper set up a one -year contract this week to give a young play additional play, led by Jakobi Meyers, who recently requested business.
The ceasefire receiver is coming. He was hampered by injury and returned 547 in the career, which received 44 catches on 44 catches with four matches in 14 games between Cleveland and Buffalo in 2024. He had landed in the 1,000 meter mark in five of six seasons.
The question is whether last year was simply the result of unstable circumstances, along with an injury or aging player on steep spiral.
“Trust me, I still have some juice left,” Cooper said. “I felt like this was the opportunity for me to show it.”
In three and a half years in Oakland, Cooper returned 225 catches in 3,183 meters and 19 contact surfaces over 52 games.
Cooper said he had something left to prove when he returned.
“I always had it in my mind because when I was drafted here, I felt expectations were high,” Cooper said. “I felt like I did okay, but I always knew why I was composed. You choose a guy in the top five seats, you expect him to really help change the organization and I felt like sometimes I showed flashes to do it, but it wasn’t my expectation.
Cooper adds a goalie who could add Meyers – assuming that Raiders do not change gears and replace him – and star tight Brock Bowers. Raiders receiver Corps is full of young players, from the third year of Tre Tucker, and novice Dont’e Thornton Jr., Jack Bech and Tommy Mellott. The hope is that Cooper’s arrival will not spread any growth from the Greenhorn. At least Cooper’s supplement gives Geno Smith another elder to rely on who can teach the young boys rope.
