After weeks of discussions and speculation, the Los Angeles Rams have officially parted ways with star receiver Cooper Kupp, making him a free agent.
Following the initial wave of free agency, Kupp enters the market as arguably the most sought-after wide receiver available.
A key figure in the Rams' Super Bowl-winning 2021-22 season, Kupp not only secured the triple crown with 191 catches, 1,947 yards, and 16 touchdowns but also earned Super Bowl MVP honors.
Although injuries have limited Kupp over the past two seasons, he remains a premier talent and is now seeking a fresh start with a team where he can continue contributing at an elite level.
Following Cooper Kupp's release, the Rams remain confident in their receiving corps. With breakout star Puka Nacua and the recent addition of Davante Adams on a two-year deal, the Rams remain confident in their dynamic receiving corps.
Meanwhile, Kupp's next chapter is one of the most intriguing storylines of the offseason. As one of the league's premier playmakers, he is expected to draw widespread interest in free agency.
With his stellar track record and championship experience, Kupp is likely to target a team that aligns with his goals, offering both a strong fit and the potential to compete for another Super Bowl.
For the Rams, Kupp's release saves $7.5 million in cap space, though it leaves $22.3 million in dead cap for 2025. Despite the loss, their receiving unit remains competitive, featuring breakout star Puka Nacua and new signee Davante Adams. The Rams now have room for strategic depth signings as they prepare for the NFL draft.
