In 2018, just six months after my winning an Amari Cooper #89 Oakland Raiders Jersey, the wide receiver was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2019 NFL Draft first-round pick. News of the then two-time NFL Pro Bowl receiver was gut-wrenching to me and all Raider Nation. But as with all tragic Raiders news, we man up and soldier on.
Two days ago, to the surprise of myself and Raider Nation, Amari Cooper, the now five-time NFL Pro Bowl receiver, signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. It is truly a reunion made for the rebuilding Silver & Black. Although many Raiders fans were put off by how the wide receiver stiff-armed the Raiders in mid-season 2018, we welcome back the 31-year-old receiver as it seems he still has some gas in the tank.
And, like myself, it gives us fans with Raiders Cooper Jerseys a chance to wear it proudly once again come game day.
