Cooper Kupp is a professional American football wide receiver currently playing for the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL. Born on June 15, 1993, in Yakima, Washington, he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 207 pounds. Kupp played college football at Eastern Washington University, where he earned the Walter Payton Award as a junior. He was selected by the Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
In the 2021 season, Kupp led the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, becoming only the fourth player since the AFL-NFL merger to achieve this feat. He was instrumental in the Rams’ victory in Super Bowl LVI, earning MVP honors.
However, recent reports suggest that Kupp’s future with the Rams is uncertain. General Manager Les Snead has indicated that Kupp’s return to the team is the “least likely” scenario for the upcoming season, citing his significant cap hit of $29.8 million for 2025 and an impending roster bonus. The Rams are reportedly exploring trade options, and if no trade materializes, they may consider releasing Kupp before the 2025 season.
Teams like the Dallas Cowboys have been mentioned as potential suitors for Kupp’s services, aiming to bolster their wide receiver corps alongside CeeDee Lamb. However, no official moves have been made, and Kupp’s status remains in flux as the Rams navigate their roster decisions.
