Star wide receiver Cooper Kupp is done with the Los Angeles Rams after an illustrious eight-year run with the organization.
Shortly after 7:00 p.m. EST today, Cooper Kupp revealed on X/Twitter that his tenure with the Rams has ended. The Super Bowl 56 MVP was told by the Rams that they “will be seeking a trade immediately”, and that the two sides will work together to find his next destination.

I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.

Cooper Kupp was drafted in the third round (69th overall) by the Rams in 2017, months after they hired Sean McVay as their new head coach. He led the Rams to a Super Bowl 56 title in 2021 after capturing the wide receiver triple crown (145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns).
Kupp’s tenure as a Ram ends with 634 receptions for 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns. He’s third all-time on the franchise leaderboard in receiving TDs and receptions and fourth in receiving yards.

Losing Kupp will hurt the Rams and their fanbase sentimentally, but the departures of other key players in recent years like Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd, Todd Gurley and Cam Akers are simple reminders that it’s just the nature of doing business in this league.
