Amari Cooper Informs Raiders of Retirement

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.

Keon Coleman News

Keon Coleman has Strong Offseason for Bills

Thursday, June 25, 10:37 AM

Nick Wojton of Bills Wire lists Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman as an offseason winner. He had some big efforts during minicamp drills this month and took advantage of Joshua Palmer (ankle) missing time. It's exactly the type of offseason the 23-year-old needed to have after another disappointing season in his sophomore campaign in 2025, and after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The former second-rounder (33rd overall) in the 2024 NFL draft out of Florida State was also benched for several games last year for showing up late to team meetings. Drops and immaturity issues have plagued Coleman so far in his first two NFL seasons, as he's produced 67 catches on 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 regular-season games (18 starts). Coleman took a step back a year ago, finishing with a 38-404-4 line in his 13 games played (six starts). He has fallen all the way to No. 109 in RotoBaller's WR ranks for the upcoming season, but the Bills have been clear that they aren't giving up on Coleman as he heads into Year 3.
