According to the reports, Cooper Kupp, MVP of the Super Bowl 2022, agreed to sign with the Seattle Seahawks after being released by the rival of the Los Angeles Rams division earlier this week. According to reports, the KUPP agreement is for three years and $ 45 million.
Kupp goes to his native state of Washington to join with the new Seattle Quartback, Sam Darnold, and will fill a void left by DK Metcalf’s departure, who was changed to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
Kupp revealed in a publication on social networks last month that the Rams were “looking for an exchange immediately and will work with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships.”
However, no commercial partner was found, so he was released.

Kupp admitted that “I did not agree with the decision and always believed that I was going to start and end in Los Angeles”
KUPP, who turns 32 in June, has been hindered by injuries since he registered a triple reception crown in 2022 and won the MVP of the Super Bowl. He has played in just 33 of the possible 51 games in the last three seasons. And although it has been productive, Puka Nacua has passed a background.

KUPP was a third round of the Rams In 2017 Out of the east of Washington.
In his 2022 season, he caught 145 passes for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns. Since then, it has 201 trapped for 2,259 yards and 17 scores.

His 710 reception yards last year were the lowest since they put 566 in 2018, a season in which he lost half of the games. He has not played in more than 12 games since that 2022 campaign and has not eclipsed the 1,000 -yards brand since then.
“I was proud to play with my teammates for the Los Angeles community, so thank you for hugging my family and making this such a special place for us,” Kupp said on social networks last month. “2024 began with one of the best training fields of my career. The preparations now begin by 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and I am anxious to play elite football in the coming years. I love you … but come for everything.”
KUPP joins the ascending open receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Seattle, and Darnold will get a constant veteran to rely on his first season in Seattle.
