Amari Cooper has "unfinished business," career has come full circle with return to Raiders

Amari Cooper became a Raider for the first time when Oakland made him the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft. He became a Raider again on Tuesday, when he arrived in Las Vegas and signed a free agent contract. He’s glad to be back in the Silver and Black, even if he’s not in the same place he left.

“It’s a good feeling. It feels like a full circle moment. I’m excited about the opportunity, for sure, and I’m going to embrace it,” Cooper said.

Cooper said he has always loved being a Raider but does notice that the team’s facilities in Las Vegas are a major upgrade from the dilapidated place they practiced and played in Oakland.

“The Raiders is the Raiders. Whether they’re in L.A., Oakland or Vegas,” Cooper said. “It’s a night and day difference, honestly, in terms of the facility.”
