The Large Cooper Kupp receiver was on the commercial block, but the Los Angeles Rams plan changed. The Director General Les SNEAD plans to publish 2021 Nfl Attacking player of the year Wednesday at the start of the new year of the league if the RAMs cannot find a trading partner, by espn.
The motivation for Rams to empty Kupp and save $ 7.52 million in the ceiling space probably increased after signing the triple first all-Pro Wideout Davante Adams team A contract of $ 44 million over two years with $ 26 million guaranteed on Sunday.
Kupp, who will be 32 years old on June 15, initially announced the news via the social media that he was on the block on February 4. In his article, Kupp has shared that although he does not agree with the Rams’ decision to pass from him, he returns to his time with the franchise with “so much pride”. Kupp also clearly indicated that he was very motivated to resume his career elsewhere.
I was informed that the team immediately was looking for a job and will work with me and my family to find the right place to continue to compete for the championships.
I do not agree with the decision and I always thought it was going to start and end in Los Angeles. However, if there is one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but that’s how you react to these things you will remember and remember.
I was so proud to play alongside my teammates for the Los Angeles community, so thank you for kissing my family and making this special place for us.
2024 started with one of the best training camps in my career. The preparations are now starting for 2025. Very motivated, as healthy as ever, and I can’t wait to play elite football for the years to come.
I love you guys .. but come for all this.
Third-round track in 2017, Kupp became an immediate contributor to the RAMS head coach offensive, Sean Mcvay. He helped the rams reach the Super bowl In 2018, the second year of work from Mcvay.
In 2021, Kupp experienced one of the largest seasons of all time regardless of the position. He won the NFL “triple crip” after directing the league in receptions (145, the second largest part of a season in the history of the NFL), receiving yards (1,947, second later in a season in the history of the NFL) and receiving touchdown (16) in the regular season. There is only one of the five to win the triple receiver of a season since the AFL / NFL merger in 1970, which was why he was appointed attacking player of the year of the 2021 NFL.
During these playoffs, Kupp led all receivers again in the catches, reception yards and touchdown. He was appointed Super bowl LVI MVP after catching the winning scoring in the RAMS 23-20 victory against Bengals.
The injuries have slowed Kupp in recent years, however, as he missed 18 games combined since the RAMs won the Super bowl. Kupp’s injuries are surely one of the reasons why Rams move from him. It has an average of 67 catches, 753 yards by receiving and six affected on average on average 11 games played since its historic campaign in 2021. KUPP on average 59.2 reception yards per match in 2024, its less since its recruit year in 2017 (57.9).

Despite his recent injury problems, are waiting for several teams to be interested in submission for KUPP services, especially those who could use a safe veteran with experience in playoffs. It is due to $ 5 million in guaranteed wages of RAMs in 2025, so his contract with his new team may not break the bank.
Here is an overview of five teams that could be interested in Kupp’s services.
Dallas needs reinforcements around the Ceedee lamb, especially with Brandin Cooks hitting the free market. The addition of Kupp would release things for the lamb while giving Dak Prescott another weapon established to launch.
Seattle Seahawks desperately need help in the position of the wide receiver after cutting Tyler Lockett and exchanged DK Metcalf at Pittsburgh Steelers during last week. Kupp would not be the only objective of the opposing defenses in Seattle, Jaxon Smith-Njigba catching 100 passes in 2024, which equaled the record of a single season of the Seahawks franchise (also established by Lockett in 2020).
Seattle also attracted the best quarter of the free agent available in the player of Bowler Sam Darnold, who accepted a $ 100.5 million contract over three years. The attacking coordinator Klint Kubiak is a disciple of the Shanahan-Mcvay tree, so that the offensive he directs will be similar to a Kupp ran with the Rams and the attack that Darnold ran with the Vikings.
Baltimore is not afraid to deal with big names in the free agency. Barely a year ago, the Ravens signed Derrick Henry at a two -year agreement, and we all see how it worked for them. Kupp would join an offense in charge of the Ravens which also includes the MVP of the Lamar Jackson league, the other Wideouts Zay Jones and Rashhod Bateman and ends with Isaiah, probably and Mark Andrews.
Bo Nix prospered last year despite not having the most proven to receive crops outside of Courtland Sutton. In Denver, Kupp would play with a promising quarter and inside the Sean Payton offensive. Kupp’s ability to play in the middle would certainly help Nix, who regularly plays games outside the pocket.
The charges could use another receiver to fill their line alongside the first round choice in 2023 Quentin Johnston and a choice of second round 2024 Ladd McConkey after the Buffalo Bills attracted Josh Palmer on Monday to the free agency. They also have the second largest ceiling space in the NFL ($ 93.8, by Spotrac), so that they can outbid anyone for Kupp. In addition, they are a team that made the playoffs last year with a young amusing quarter to Justin Herbert, and Kupp would not even have to move.
