Former Super Bowl MVP joins Seattle Seahawks

The Los Angeles Rams released wide receiver Cooper Kupp on Wednesday after failing to find a trade partner for him ahead of the NFL’s new league year.

The veteran receiver didn’t last long on the free agent market. He reached an agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. The deal is for three-years and $45 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Kupp played in 12 games for the Rams last season and recorded 67 catches for 710 yards and six touchdowns. He largely served as Los Angeles’ No. 2 receiver, as second-year receiver Puka Nacua continued to establish himself as Matthew Stafford’s favorite target following a historic rookie season.

The Seahawks had perhaps one of the funnier confirmations of a player joining a franchise during this free agency period by posting a picture of a cup.

Kupp was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 after leading the NFL in receptions (145), receiving yards (1,947) and touchdowns (19). He became the first receiver to win the league’s triple crown since Steve Smith Sr. in 2005.

However, since then, Kupp has played just 33 of a possible 51 regular-season games while battling injuries. During that span, he has averaged just 753 receiving yards per season, with a high of 812 in 2022.

That played a part in the Rams releasing Kupp. They replaced him with fellow veteran Davante Adams; the 32-year-old has posted five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons while playing for three different teams – the Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets.
