Report: Cooper Kupp signing with Seattle Seahawks

Cooper Kupp has found his next home after moving on from the Los Angeles Rams. The Super Bowl LVI MVP is signing with the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Kupp, 31, has been one of the more productive receivers since entering the league in 2017 as a third-round pick out of Eastern Washington. He reached his peak in 2021, winning the receiving triple crown with 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns. He capped off the season by helping Los Angeles stand tall above the rest of the NFL.

Unfortunately, that iconic campaign was one of only two seasons in which Kupp has been fully healthy. Injuries have slowed him down, limiting him to just 12 games in each of the past two seasons. He wrapped up his Rams tenure with 634 receptions, 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns. Now, he’ll be looking to add to his career totals.

Originally, Kupp didn’t want to leave Los Angeles. The Rams, however, had to consider the finances. After the 2021 season, Kupp signed a three-year contract extension worth $80.1 million. He was scheduled to have a cap hit of $29.8 million next season and $27.3 million in 2026.

“Healthy as ever,” Kupp is ready to show he still has some quality ball left in the tank. He’ll have the chance to show that in a different uniform. 

“I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA,” Kupp wrote last month. “Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember. I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us. 

“2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys. But coming for it all.”
