Star wide receiver Cooper Kupp is done with the Los Angeles Rams after an illustrious eight-year run with the organization.
Shortly after 7:00 p.m. EST today, Cooper Kupp revealed on X/Twitter that his tenure with the Rams has ended. The Super Bowl 56 MVP was told by the Rams that they “will be seeking a trade immediately”, and that the two sides will work together to find his next destination.
Kupp admitted that he disagreed with the Rams’ decision and felt his career would conclude where it began. You can see his full X post below:
I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.

Cooper Kupp was drafted in the third round (69th overall) by the Rams in 2017, months after they hired Sean McVay as their new head coach. He led the Rams to a Super Bowl 56 title in 2021 after capturing the wide receiver triple crown (145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns).
Kupp’s tenure as a Ram ends with 634 receptions for 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns. He’s third all-time on the franchise leaderboard in receiving TDs and receptions and fourth in receiving yards.
Cooper Kupp Should Have Lots Of Interest On The Open Market
Kupp will be 32 in June and has been limited to 33 total games since 2022 because of injuries. But he’s still a difference-maker when healthy, with a career 17-game regular-season average of 1,271 yards.
Losing Kupp will hurt the Rams and their fanbase sentimentally, but the departures of other key players in recent years like Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd, Todd Gurley and Cam Akers are simple reminders that it’s just the nature of doing business in this league.
