About this listen
The past few days have brought major life and career shifts for Cooper Kupp, instantly rewriting the next chapter in his biography. The biggest headline is his official release by the Los Angeles Rams, ending a storied eight-year run that included that unforgettable 2021 Super Bowl MVP season, multiple franchise records, and a deep connection with both the locker room and the fan base. Kupp himself weighed in on Instagram after the news broke, expressing gratitude and reflecting on building something special in LA, especially in the city’s early uncertain days about the Rams returning. He described the ending as difficult but also thanked the fans, adding, “Next chapter starts now. Best is yet to come,” signaling both closure and resolve according to AOL Entertainment.
Backing him up through the transition, Anna Marie Kupp, his wife and longtime partner, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram. Her post, which quickly made the rounds on sports media, called Cooper a leader, set the tone on what comes next, and urged future teams to see the “contagious joy and passion” he brings to football. She also noted how devoted he is off the field, referencing his influence on teammates and their three young sons.
Now, the NFL future for Kupp is with the Seattle Seahawks, who signed him to a three-year $45 million contract as announced in mid-March. This keeps him in the NFC West and sets the stage for twice-yearly encounters with the Rams — storylines almost made for TV. Sports Illustrated and NBC Sports emphasize that Kupp, now 32, joins an offense in significant transition after a failed pass-heavy experiment last year. With Klint Kubiak now directing a more run-oriented scheme, questions swirl about how featured Cooper will be in a receiver group where rising star Jaxon Smith-Njigba dominates the slot. Most outlets point out that Kupp’s usage and stats tailed off after returning from injury last season, but some fantasy analysts, including those at Sports Illustrated Fantasy and Pro Football Network, see him as a possible bounce-back candidate given his route running, career efficiency, and experience, with lots of targets up for grabs in Seattle’s new-look attack.
Kupp made his Seahawks preseason debut Friday against the Chiefs. CBS Sports reports he started but did not see a target, playing just one brief series before sitting the rest, as the Seahawks tested their run game and newer weapons. Analysts caution that lingering injuries — Kupp has missed 18 games over the past three seasons — and his new “WR2” status behind Smith-Njigba could mean his days as a fantasy and statistical headliner are behind him, but the impact of his leadership, intelligence, and mastery of the game remains highly regarded across the league and press.
Speculation swirled at week’s end with some unverified Bears coverage about possible trade interest in Kupp, though this has not been confirmed by any major national NFL desks, so file that under pure rumor for now.
On social media, the couple’s family-focused posts continue to draw engagement, and Kupp’s introspection about his Rams years has sparked plenty of nostalgia and commentary among NFL fans and former teammates.
