The Seattle Seahawks revamped their team for the 2025 NFL season with Cooper Kupp as the star receiver and the addition of Sam Darnold as the starting quarterback. These are two significant additions aimed at making a deep playoff run, after a disappointing campaign the previous year.
Seattle missed the playoffs last year, providing a strong reason to begin a rebuild centered around Darnold. The 27-year-old quarterback will need to elevate the team’s offense through his throws and his connection with receiver Kupp, who spoke about his arrival to the Seahawks.
The veteran wide receiver joined the Seahawks after his departure from the Los Angeles Rams and shared his feelings about one of the final moments of his career. In this context, it’s important to hear what Kupp has to say about this new chapter in his journey.
Kupp’s message after joining the Seahawks
“The biggest thing is just the people that this organization has brought in. It feels like a full-circle moment. That was the selling point that Coach Mike (Macdonald) brought, that John (Schneider) had talked about; it was about the people. All the players I talked to, just the culture of this organization, the winning culture of this organization, that’s something I wanted to be a part of,” Kupp told the team’s website.

In addition, Kupp didn’t pass up the opportunity to talk about the Seahawks fans. “It’s that culture, it’s a culture of winning. For a long time, the 12s have made this a renowned environment to play in. It’s always something you prepared for when you came up here. It was my favorite thing walking out of the locker room and breathing the Northwest air. It’s like, ‘Man, this is just a special place to be.’ You go out there and you’ve got the fans creating such an electric environment. They’ve always been cheering against me, now I get to be a part of that,” he said.
