Cooper Kupp Signs with Seahawks After Rams Release

Cooper Kupp, the former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP, has reached an agreement to sign a three-year, $45 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks after being released by the Rams earlier this week. This move comes as the Seahawks revamp their receiving corps, having recently traded DK Metcalf and released Tyler Lockett. Kupp, a native of Yakima, Washington, returns to his home state where he will face his former team twice next season. The Rams attempted to trade Kupp but ultimately could not find a suitable deal, leading to his release. Despite a decline in production from his peak, Kupp remains a significant asset, having logged impressive career statistics over his eight seasons in the NFL. The Seahawks aim to build a competitive offense around new quarterback Sam Darnold and Kupp's addition is seen as a key component of that strategy.
