Source – WR Cooper KUPP joins Seahawks in a 3 -year agreement and $ 45 million

The former open receiver of the Los Angeles Rams, Cooper Kupp, agreed to the terms of a contract with the Seattle Seahawks, the team announced Friday night.

The agreement is for three years and a value of $ 45 million, a source to Adam Schefter of ESPN told.

The movement brings KUPP back to their native state and helps Seahawks fill their void in the open receiver after they moved from Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Kupp, 31, grew approximately 140 miles southeast of Seattle in Yakima, Washington, then attended the university in East of Washington before the Rams recruited him in 2017. He was released at the beginning of the new year of the League on Wednesday, after the angels did not change it, finishing his race of eight and season with the team.

He recognized Seattle’s news on Friday by publishing X: “Washington back to the other side of my chest. Come on!”

The incorporation of KUPP is the last movement in a drastic reorganization of the Seahawks offensive. They changed the Geno Smith Marshal to the Las Vegas Raiders and signed Sam Darnold as their replacement. Seattle released Lockett and changed Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The MVP of the LVI of the Super Bowl, KUPP joins Márquez Valdes-Scantling (one year, up to $ 5.5 million) as the recent additions of Seattle in the open receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, which had 1,130 yards in 2024, its second season.

KUPP was a third round selection in 2017 as part of the coach’s first Draft class, Sean McVay and emerged as one of the best shots of the game slot. He had 62 receptions as a rookie and then exceeded 90 in his third and fourth season.

But his best season arrived in 2021, when he won the triple recipient crown when leading the NFL at receptions (145), Yardas Receivers (1,947) and receiving Touchdowns (16). He made his only Pro Bowl and was appointed the offensive player of the NFL year.

Kupp limited that season with eight trapped for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the victory of the Rams Super Bowl over the Cincinnati Bengals, which earned him the MVP Prize of the game.

After the season, Kupp signed a three -year contract extension worth $ 80.1 million.

But Kupp has dealt with injuries in the three seasons since then, playing in just 33 games. In 12 games during the 2024 season, KUPP had 67 trapped for 710 yards and six touchdowns.

After the season, Kupp announced that the Rams were trying to change it despite their desire to stay with the team. But with him he owed $ 20 million for the 2025 season, the teams were not willing to make an exchange, which led to his release.

For his career, KUPP has 634 receptions for 7,776 reception yards and 58 total touchdowns (57 receivers).
