The Los Angeles Rams’ season ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and the concern extends beyond the game itself. The organization might be on the verge of losing Cooper Kupp, a player once considered a cornerstone for their future. The former Super Bowl MVP faced a disappointing season due to injuries and a notable decline in production as the year progressed. With two years left on his contract, the Rams may contemplate using their opt-out clause, potentially incurring dead salary by releasing him.
On Monday, as he wrapped up his eighth NFL season, Kupp acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his future, stating that his potential return to Los Angeles is “out of his control.” He expressed his desire to remain in the city but admitted, “Who knows what’s going to happen? I don’t have any clarity on what that’s going to look like.” Despite the ambiguity, Kupp assured that he has “no doubt” he will continue his NFL career next season, insisting, “I’ll be playing football next year. That much I know.”
Fans were excited to hear that Kupp plans to play next season, regardless of the team. One Broncos fan tweeted, “Kupp to Broncos… 10 mil a year. Let’s goooo,” while another reminded everyone of Kupp’s past prowess, saying, “Just 2-3 years ago he was the best WR in football remember?”

If Kupp can regain his elite form, the Rams might reconsider their decision to part ways with him. However, at age 31, they may find it easier to cut ties before his production declines further. Regardless of the outcome, Kupp is expected to remain a significant presence in the NFL for years to come.
