Raiders Sign 5-Time Pro Bowl WR Amari Cooper After Trade Request

In recent NFL news, the Carolina Panthers claimed wide receiver Dalevon Campbell off waivers after he was cut by the Los Angeles Chargers, adding a potential deep threat to a struggling Panthers receiving corps. The San Francisco 49ers signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a two-time Super Bowl winner, to bolster their depleted wide receiver group ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders addressed uncertainty surrounding Jakobi Meyers' trade request by signing five-time Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper, who is returning to the franchise that drafted him in 2015. Cooper, a seasoned veteran with over 10,000 career receiving yards, is expected to be a key target for quarterback Geno Smith and could reshape the Raiders' offensive dynamics. These moves highlight teams' efforts to strengthen their receiver positions as the 2025 NFL season progresses.
