Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Chris Conley

Thursday, September 4, 2:14 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper has informed the team that he intends to retire ahead of Week 1, citing a lack of desire to continue playing. Cooper, who joined the Raiders this offseason in hopes of competing for a starting role, was listed behind rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. on the initial depth chart. The five-time Pro Bowler spent last season with the Browns and Bills, starting 10 of 14 games while recording 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns. Cooper leaves the NFL after a decorated career, finishing with over 10,000 receiving yards and 64 touchdowns across stops with the Raiders, Cowboys, Browns, and Bills. His departure opens additional opportunities for Thornton and fellow rookie Jack Bech to carve out meaningful roles in the Raiders' passing game this season.

Wide receiver Chris Conley announced his retirement on Saturday after 10 seasons in the National Football League. The 2015 No. 76 overall pick spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. In 132 regular-season contests, he amassed 226 receptions (383 targets) for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns. Conley spent his final year with the 49ers, although he wasn't very productive, catching six passes for 76 yards in 15 contests.
