On Monday, the Las Vegas Raiders decided it was too quiet in the NFL world and that there hadn’t been enough drama surrounding them as of late, which is out of the norm. So, news dropped that starting receiver Jakobi Meyers had requested a trade after he and the Raiders couldn’t agree on an extension. Then, the Raiders signed Amari Cooper.

11:08pm: Cooper’s one-year deal with the Raiders (which is now official) is worth a $3.5MM base value, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The contract also contains $500K in per-game roster bonuses plus up to another $2MM in incentives. The max value comes in at $6MM.

This will be a one-year reunion, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. Jakobi Meyers is looking for a trade in the wake of extension talks stalling, so the timing of Monday's news is certainly noteworthy. Still, the Raiders were named Monday as one of the teams in the market for a WR addition, so this move is not entirely surprising.
