Let the fire sale begin! The Oakland Raiders are apparently shopping wide receiver Amari Cooper, and they should have no shortage of suitors.
After embarrassing themselves in London, the Oakland Raiders appear to have their minds already set on the future as rumors have surfaced about them looking to trade several players on the roster. And the most noticeable being fourth-year receiver Amari Cooper. Jon Gruden seems to be in total rebuild mode with this roster, and it doesn’t look like Cooper is part of his plans.
