This comes after the L.A Rams let go of Kupp after signing WR Davante Adams on a 2-year $44 million deal, which according to many was an overpay. Kupp had a historic season in the 2021, where he was the triple crown winner and also the Super Bowl MVP. He helped the Rams win only their second Super Bowl title and finished the season with 1947 receiving yards, 145 receptions, 16 touchdowns.<\/p><p>After winning the Super Bowl, Kupp was never the same again and since 2021, he never played in more than 12 games in any of the regular seasons. While he was on pace to go on another great season in 2022, injuries started to derail him and his production. Even though Kupp had previously stated that he wants to play for the Rams for the rest of his <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NFL <\/a>career, the NFL is a business and what you did for them in the past does not matter as every team is always looking forward to the future. <\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/new-york-giants-quarterback-dilemma-as-aaron-rodgers-decision-still-pending\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>New York Giants Quarterback Dilemma as Aaron Rodgers Decision Still Pending<\/a><\/p><p>So in the end, the Seahawks ended up signing Kupp after their former receiver D.K.
