The Los Angeles Rams made the shocking decision to not bring back their former Super Bowl MVP this off-season in Cooper Kupp. The star wide receiver has been with the Rams since 2017 and has accumulated more than 8,000 total yards (regular season and playoffs).
However, their relationship has soured in a pretty significant way.

There are a few NFL players who deserve to write their own endings. However, that’s not happening in LA:
“I walked into Sean’s office and he said, ‘We’re going to trade you,’” Kupp told the Los Angeles Times. “I asked if there were any other thoughts on ways to move forward, were there any other options to figure things out, and he said no, this is the way they wanted to go.
“And as time has gone on I’ve had to deal with all the frustration, anger, sadness, all these things that as a human you process,” continued Kupp. “Having to say goodbye to people and know that that door is closed. That’s been tough to walk through as the weeks have gone by.”
This seems to be a theme in the McVay era. Matthew Stafford almost had a nasty divorce from the team this summer to the point he was meeting Tom Brady in Montana, John Sullivan expressed shock when the Rams moved off him, Todd Gurley seems to want nothing to do with the team and while the Rams have done right by them financially, there is still the human element to this buisness.
