Wide receiver Cooper Kupp had been on the trading block, but the Los Angeles Rams' plan has changed. The team released the former All-Pro receiver, 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP on Wednesday,

Kupp was named AP Offensive Player of the Year, then continued his dominant run into the playoffs. He caught a touchdown in all four of the Rams’ postseason games, including two in a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game, then another two in the 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

The NFL league year kicked off with two former Super Bowl MVPs hitting the open market. The Los Angeles Rams cut receiver Cooper Kupp just days after signing Davante Adams to be his replacement and the New York Jets released quarterback Aaron Rodgers following a failed two-year stint.
