Super Bowl - English
Tre Tucker - English
In a move that has reshaped the Las Vegas Raiders‘ lockerroom, the franchise re-signed veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper to a one-year contract. The return comes less than a decade after being drafted by the Raiders in 2015 and at a time when the team is uncertain about Jakobi Meyers’ trade request.
The Raiders believe that by bringing him back their aspirations to achieve the SuperBowl final is more likely. Along with the bond built in the past by Cooper and the Raiders, is the combined feeling of achieving greatness on the field, the ultimate goal for both the franchise and the player.
Tom Brady confused in Raiders’ stadium halls
Why Raiders brought back Cooper
The pause in negotiations and trade desire of Meyers made the Raiders look for stability, as pointed out by ‘The SportsRush ‘. Cooper, with four Pro Bowl appearences to his name, is the perfect man for that job. He is an experienced player who can offer leadership and direction to a now highly questioned unit.
If Meyers sticks with the team, Cooper is a consistent WR2. But if the trade demand is met, the 31-year-old might become the Raiders’ new WR1 in a flash.
Depth issues in Las Vegas
The Raiders’ depth at the wide receiver position has been among the thinnest in the AFC. After Meyers, the Raiders can only boast Tre Tucker, and rookies Tommy Mellott, Jack Bech, and Shedrick Jackson. Though they promise a highly-expected future, they lack experience in the NFL, and Cooper’s return is even more precious.
“Cooper gives the Raiders something they presently do not have – an old reliable man around there,” one of the sources informed ‘The SportsRush’.
Other franchises showed interest
San Francisco 49ers had also expressed interest in bringing in Cooper prior to his opting for the Raiders, as reported by ‘Niners Nation‘. His resume, even with an off season playing time split between the Browns and Bills, made him one of the more consistent veteran options remaining available through free agency.
The future is brighter
The Raiders’ decision to support Cooper’s return is as much about contingency planning as it is about firepower. If Meyers stays, the offense would have two polished veterans. If he leaves, Cooper will make the loss of the team’s top receiver a bit lighter.
For quarterback Geno Smith, which is his first year as the Raiders’ starter, having Cooper involved is about experience and stability, two factors that might create the difference in a break-or-make season.
Amari Cooper’s return to Las Vegas is not just a homecoming, it is a strategic movements that can shape the Raiders’ offense in 2025. Whether Meyers remains or leaves, the Raiders have insured that their quarterback is going to have at least one trusted target ready to step up.

Zico vê privilégio com Jorginho e Saul e alerta sobre desgaste na zaga do Flamengo: “Único setor vulnerável”
Zico, em entrevista à Flamengo TV (Reprodução)Zico, ao analisar o poderoso elenco do Flamengo, enxerga apenas uma questão em aberto. Diante da sequência de Léo Ortiz e Léo Pereira, o ex-jogador sugere que o time não fique dependente de Danilo, desfalque recente após lesão posterior da coxa direita, como suplente imediato. Neste cenário, apesar da dupla promissora na base formada por João Victor e Iago, a possibilidade de outro zagueiro mais experiente chegar ao clube é avaliada de forma positiva, algo que promoveria margem para o descanso dos titulares.
