Raiders Legend Had Harsh Words for Amari Cooper Amid Potential Reunion
Raiders Legend Had Harsh Words for Amari Cooper Amid Potential Reunion originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders traded away All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams last season, which left a gaping hole in their wide receiver room. Ahead of the 2025 campaign, Jakobi Meyers is expected to be the top target, who is coming off a career year. Advertisement However, outside of Meyers, the wide receiver room is filled with unproven players or rookies, so the team could stand to add another pass-catcher to this group. Many outlets have suggested free agent Amari Cooper as a potential option. Cooper was drafted by the Raiders with the No. 4 overall pick in 2015, so his signing with Las Vegas would be a reunion. He left the organization in disgrace his first time around, but the team has changed cities and leadership several times since then. Former Oakland Raiders WR Amari Cooper (89).James Lang-Imagn Images Legendary Raiders offensive lineman Lincoln Kennedy, a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, however, had a different opinion. He had harsh words for Cooper on the "Locked On Raiders Podcast" about a potential reunion happening. Advertisement "No. Let me preface this by saying that I remember when Amari was drafted. I was one of the first guys on the Raiders to interview him. I looked in his eyes and realized he didn't want to be a Raider," Kennedy said. "He didn't enjoy his time in Oakland, that's why he couldn't wait to get out of there. ... My point for Amari is [that] he never took the next step to develop his route-running skills. He is not a good route-running receiver. ... That's all Amari Cooper is, is a name. I don't think they should do it." Cooper had a successful start to his career in Oakland, as he made the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons and finished third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. After a dip in production in his third season, however, he forced his way out in 2018. Since then, he has made stops with the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. Last season, he was traded from Cleveland to Buffalo and recorded just 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns between the two teams. Las Vegas could certainly use a player like Cooper, who is just one year removed from a Pro Bowl campaign in 2023 with the Browns. But as Kennedy pointed out, it may not be a smart move to sign a player who does not want to be a Raider.

Blake Lively Gets New Subpoenas Out In Justin Baldoni Legal Case, ‘Source' Claims
and 's legal battle reportedly got a new update as the former issued three new subpoenas. Weeks after her and Taylor Swift's text messages became accessible to her 'It Ends With Us' co-star, Lively subpoenaed Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and Andy Signore. She seemingly sought all communications with Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties to prove the alleged smear campaign. Her lawsuit also accused him of sexual harassment. TMZ learned about a new development in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal battle as she reportedly issued three new subpoenas. A source with direct knowledge claimed that Lively subpoenaed content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and Andy Signore to obtain all communications with Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties. The publication believes her latest move likely stemmed from the judge's order to pursue discovery to prove the alleged smear campaign. Owens responded to the claim in a statement, revealing that she does not know the court documents yet. 'Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to TMZ to alert me to it,' she stated. The commentator and author further said she's unaware why she was 'being subpoenaed.' She then denied association with 'these parties' when they filed their respective lawsuits, but will share updates on her podcast. Responding to the subpoenas from Lively, Signore's lawyer also released a statement. The lawyer stated they haven't received 'any legal process at this time.' However, they expressed their intentions to 'vigorously defend against any claims' and 'protect the confidentiality of sources on both sides' in case of a subpoena. Reports of the subpoenas came weeks after a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. His team had previously issued two subpoenas to the 'Gossip Girl' alum's close friend Taylor Swift and her lawyers at Venable. They then withdrew the subpoenas soon after, but successfully pursued text messages between the two friends. Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea.
