Cooper Kupp returned to Los Angeles for Sunday’s game for the first time after he was traded by the Rams. It was definitely an emotional moment for Kupp and many fans who were sorely sad to see Kupp go to the Seahawks. Kupp and his wife also definitely felt the sentiment, with Anna recently sharing a beautiful picture of them kissing before the game with a sweet caption.
While Kupp would have been hoping to dominate his former team with his new teammates, things did not go as planned. The Rams easily won against Seattle, with LA’s signal-caller Matthew Stafford managing a pair of impressive scores.

Cooper Kupp’s return makes it even more bittersweet when fans remember just how much the player was upset at parting ways with the Rams. Kupp openly stated that he definitely did not want to leave LA and even had a few words to say about them after Sunday’s matchup.
“It was a meaningful place for me. I enjoyed stepping on that field for eight years and representing the city of Los Angeles. I tried to do it to the best of my ability, and it was important to me. It was important for me for the fans and what we wanted to build there. The relationships were just too important to feel like that was broken.” Cooper Kupp said.
After it was announced that Cooper Kupp will be shipped off to the Seahawks, many fans and critics called out the team for the painful decision. However, football fans who know LA GM Les Snead know only too well about his ruthlessness in making decisions, which have mostly helped the team.
