The Seattle Seahawks just made a major move to help replace DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as the team plucked Cooper Kupp away from Southern California to return the playmaker to his home state. Seattle is signing the Yakima, Wash., native to a three-year, $45 million contract, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
Kupp suddenly became available after the Los Angeles Rams released the wideout during NFL free agency. The newest Seahawks receiver quickly took to X to express his excitement to return to Washington.
“Washington back across my chest,” Kupp exclaimed in a March 14, 2025, message on X. “Let’s go!!!!!”
Prior to helping the Rams win a Super Bowl, Kupp was a standout college football receiver at Eastern Washington. Less than two hours after posting, Kupp’s message approached two million views and had 3,000 reposts along with 21,000 likes.

The biggest question is Kupp’s availability as the veteran missed five games with injuries in 2024. By comparison, Metcalf had 66 receptions for 992 yards and a career-low five touchdowns in 15 contests last season.
