• Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Finds new home in Pacific Northwest

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  The Seahawks and Kupp agreed to terms of a contract Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's a three-year deal for Kupp, who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Rams. Kupp will join a receiving corps that moved on from DK Metcalf (traded to the Steelers) and Tyler Lockett (released) this offseason, meaning he'll be working with third-year pro Jaxon Smith-Njigba and veteran vertical threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling in an offense led by new QB Sam Darnold. Since his standout 145-1,947-16 performance on 191 targets in 2021, Kupp hasn't surpassed 75 catches, 812 yards or six touchdowns in any of the ensuing three campaigns while missing 18 regular-season contests during that span.

• Cooper Kupp: In talks with Seattle?

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  The Seahawks are trying to sign Kupp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. There were contradicting reports earlier Friday about the Cowboys pushing to sign Kupp (or not). It's unclear to what extent he'll prioritize money, winning, scheme fit or other factors, but it's fair to say Seattle will be at a disadvantage if he's inclined to take less money for a shot at the Super Bowl. Dallas would be somewhat more likely in that case, although still far from the best option. That said, it's a tough market for ring-chasing, as the Super Bowl favorites -- KC, PHI, BUF, BAL, etc. -- all appear set at wide receiver and/or signed veterans earlier this week.

• Cooper Kupp: Unlikely to sign with Dallas?

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports that the Cowboys aren't in the mix to sign Kupp, despite ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting otherwise Friday morning. Schefter referred to the Cowboys as a "sleeper team that has emerged and is now making a push" to sign Kupp, while Moore says "it won't happen" after talking to a person with "knowledge of the club's thinking." We may never know which report was accurate, unless, of course, Kupp ends up signing with the Cowboys. Other reports have suggested a number of teams are interested, which makes sense given the weak free-agent crop of wide receivers. Kupp turns 32 in June and hasn't played more than 12 regular-season games in a year since 2021, but he should at least remain useful as a possession receiver for another year or three.

• Cooper Kupp: Talking with Cowboys

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  The Cowboys are pushing to sign Kupp, would may decide on his next team as soon as Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Rams released Kupp on Wednesday, with subsequent reports suggesting numerous teams are interested in signing him. That's no surprise, considering he mostly remained productive when he wasn't injured last year and now becomes arguably the top WR in an extremely weak free-agent class. On the other hand, he'll turn 32 this summer, missed at least five games each of the past three seasons, and finished 2024 with career lows of 10.6 yards per catch and 7.1 yards per target. There's also the matter of his best fit being the slot, where CeeDee Lamb has done a large portion of his damage in recent years. Granted, that's a better problem than the Cowboys' current problem of not having enough talent alongside Lamb.

• Rams' Cooper Kupp: Release expected soon

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  The Rams are expected to release Kupp after the beginning of the new league year Wednesday, barring a trade coming to pass, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Through eight pro campaigns, Kupp has only two 1,000-yard seasons to his name, but his 146-1,947-16 line on 191 targets from 2021 will serve as one of the greatest years for a wide receiver in NFL history. Since then, he's missed 18 games while averaging a 67-753-5.7 line on 97.7 targets per season from 2022-24. The arrival of fifth-round pick Puka Nacua in 2023 resulted in a changing of the guard as the top pass catcher in the Rams offense, and Sunday's signing of Davante Adams gives the team an upgrade at No. 2. L.A. has been seeking to trade Kupp since at least early February, but considering his recent returns and age (he turns 32 in June), the Rams haven't garnered any notable interest as of yet. In any case, clarity on his situation figures to arrive in the near future.
