The Dallas Cowboys open the 2025 NFL regular season on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
One of their former stars is hanging up his cleats.
Amari Cooper signed with the Las Vegas Raiders nine days ago for a reunion with his former team. But on Thursday, he decided to retire, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Cooper spent parts of four NFL seasons with the Cowboys. He made two Pro Bowls specifically with Dallas.

He came into the league as the No. 4 overall pick in 2015 out of Alabama, and he immediately shone brightly for the Raiders.
Cooper spent four seasons with Oakland, then was traded to the Cowboys, where he starred for four more seasons.
After that, Cooper spent three seasons in Cleveland (including two 1,000-yard campaigns there, too).
