The Oakland Raiders are reportedly looking for a first-round pick in any potential trade involving wide receiver Amari Cooper, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Raiders head coach Jon Gruden denied that the team is actively looking to shop Cooper following Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

"The Raiders have had some conversations about potentially trading him," Rapoport said on "The Aftermath," according to NFL.com's Austin Knoblauch. "My understanding is that they have asked for a first-round pick in exchange for Amari Cooper, which seems incredibly significant. And it might make it difficult if not impossible to trade him."

Cooper was named to the Pro Bowl in his first two seasons but has recorded just 22 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown through six games this year.
