Report: Raiders, Cooper to reunite on 1-year deal

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing wide receiver Amari Cooper to a one-year deal, sources told NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.

Cooper spent the 2024 season with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. The five-time Pro Bowler was a member of the Raiders for four years after they selected him in the first round of the 2015 draft.

The 31-year-old had interest from other clubs, including the San Francisco 49ers, but opted to return to the team that drafted him, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.

Cooper suited up in 14 contests last season, totaling 547 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The Browns shipped Cooper to the Bills at the trade deadline for draft-pick compensation.

The Alabama product will join a Las Vegas wide receiver room that includes Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. Meyers, who set a career high in receiving yards last season with 1,027, reportedly requested a trade out of Vegas after the two sides failed to agree on an extension. However, the Raiders don't plan on trading him.

Cooper recorded 3,183 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns in 47 games with the Raiders from 2015 to 2018 before he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Raiders will kick off their season on Sept. 7 against the New England Patriots.
