The release of Cooper Kupp by the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday has officially placed the NFL world on high alert, as teams now eagerly monitor his next move. Kupp, a veteran wide receiver with a distinguished career, is coming off a season where he recorded 67 receptions for 710 yards. While his remarkable triple-crown achievement in 2021 might represent the pinnacle of his career, there’s a prevailing belief that the 31-year-old still has significant potential to offer. This has ignited considerable interest from teams across the league, all vying for the opportunity to secure his services.
Regarding the timeline for Kupp’s upcoming decision, FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports that the veteran wide receiver is anticipated to make a swift choice, avoiding a prolonged free agency period. Schultz also indicates that Kupp has garnered interest from at least five NFL teams, suggesting a competitive market for his services and a likely prompt resolution to his free agency.
“Sources: The sense around the league is that former Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp doesn’t plan on having a long, drawn-out process and prefers to make a decision quickly,” he wrote. Kupp has interest from at least five teams, and the expectation is he’ll decide sooner rather than later. It’s unclear if he’ll take any free-agent visits.”

Among the teams specifically highlighted by Schefter as potential destinations are the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots, suggesting these franchises are particularly keen on acquiring Kupp.

“At least a dozen teams have called him and expressed interest in exploring a deal with Cooper Kupp,” Schefter said. “He’s going to have a multitude of options from teams who declined to trade for him and the contract he had with the Rams, but are interested in signing Kupp to a contract of their own. There will be any number of possibilities, but teams that bear watching here include the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots, amongst others. Kupp’s going to have options, we should have a decision here fairly soon.”
