The Los Angeles Rams released former All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp on Wednesday, and multiple teams have reportedly already shown interest, including the New England Patriots.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, there have been at least a dozen teams that have expressed interest in Kupp. However, the teams that bear watching are the Patriots, Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
“There’ll be any numbers of possibilities, but teams that bear watching here include the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots amongst others,” Schefter said on “SportsCenter,” as transcribed by Broncos Wire’s Jon Heath. “Cooper Kupp’s gonna have options, we should have a decision here fairly soon.”
Kupp battled injuries last season, but he still continued to produce at a high level with 67 catches for 710 yards and eight touchdowns.
He would instantly be the top receiving option on a Patriots offense that struggled last season. His route-running, high IQ and ability to make plays in key moments would be a huge boost to the receiving corps on the field. He’d also be a valuable leader in the Patriots’ locker room.
The Patriots have the money to get a deal done. It will all come down to the price and Kupp’s willingness to come to New England.
