NFL News: Rams have reportedly informed Cooper Kupp of their final decision regarding his future with Matthew Stafford

Cooper Kupp will no longer play for the Los Angeles Rams. According to a report by Tom Pelissero, the Super Bowl champion has already been informed of the decision, making him one of the most sought-after free agents in the NFL.

“Source: The Rams have informed WR Cooper Kupp they’re releasing him today. The Rams tried to trade Cooper Kupp, who announced he was on the way out of L.A. during Super Bowl week. But with no one willing to give up compensation and take on the $20 million Kupp was due on his contract, the team will let him officially hit free agency.”

The decision was expected after the Rams signed Davante Adams. That move solidified their offense with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua. Now, in Kupp’s case, the Pittsburgh Steelers could make a move to sign him, although another team seems to have the advantage.

What will be the next team of Cooper Kupp?

The New England Patriots could be Cooper Kupp’s next team. Mike Vrabel is starting a new project in Foxborough as head coach, and Drake Maye needs a star wide receiver heading into his second year in the NFL.

However, Pelissero anticipates that Kupp has a strong market, and that, along with other reports, suggests that teams like the Steelers and even the Vikings cannot be ruled out as potential landing spots for him as a slot player. “Cooper Kupp is 31 and has missed time the past three seasons. But now that he’s free, he’s expected to have numerous suitors.”
