Cooper Kupp signed

[ccla]

It seems a little high, but I’ll wait for details on the deal before passing judgement.

LFG! Me *not* checking my phone for an hour is what did the trick!

Me too! Got too busy to keep refreshing every 10 minutes.

 

[Cyrus12]

Is he worth half as much as Darnold?

Can't compare wr to qb contracts

 

[Sonichound16]

Kinda pricey given the recent injury history. Hope he can stay healthy.

Season	Games Played	Receptions	Receiving Yards	Touchdowns	Catch Percentage	Yards After Catch (YAC)	Average Depth of Target (ADoT)
2024	12	67	710	6	67.0%	269	7.58
2023	12	59	737	5	62.1%	322	8.31
2022	9	75	812	6	76.5%	413	7.18

True, but look at those numbers...the last 3 years you are talking about almost 100 receptions, over 1K yards and 8-9 TD's plus he is a great blocker and from everything I have seen a great teammate and easy to root for. Sign me up! I am super excited to watch this team next year and we haven't even had the draft yet where we have 5 picks in the top 92. Let's effing go!

Very good signing; I'm happy with it. Anxious to see how it's structured.

There's some real potential that this backfires and gets labeled as a short-sighted decision, but if Kupp stays healthy, I have little doubt that he'll be productive. I was concerned we were going to go after Amari Cooper or Diggs, and I'd much prefer Kupp to them.

I'd still like to add another wideout somewhere. We have a lot of questions after JSN. I'm not convinced Bobo becomes anything special, nor am I convinced MVS even makes the team. Doesn't have to be early, but we should keep the position on the radar.

 

[Cyrus12]

Top receivers get 30 plus

So a mid level guy gets 15

Seems about right

I guess but the Kupp ship sailed two years ago. I just don't see him being able to stay on the field.

 

[oldhawkfan]

Welcome home Cooper Kupp. He should have been a Seahawk from the get go. I was bummed they didn’t draft him.

 

[Morpheus08]

Great human, great player...Sure he's on the downslope of his playing career but I for one think he still has plenty of productivity left in him. Incredible hands. Plenty left in the tank...Just gotta keep him healthy. Great 2/3WR.

I remember when many of us thought the same thing about RB Christian McCaffrey. Let's hope we get lucky like they did. What a wild and exciting year. We still have the draft!!!

Can't compare wr to qb contracts

Why not, value is value and when you put a number on it you can compare them, I think Kupps value is at least half as high as Darnold. I think Kupp’s value is not that far behind DK’s value and we got him for much cheaper than DK

 

[hawksincebirth]

fire move! Bravo

Why don’t you like Amari Cooper?

Except Kupp doesn't have much left in the tank..

I guess that’s the question

This is revenge for putting Wagner in that hideous uniform

Welcome home Cooper Kupp. He should have been a Seahawk from the get go. I was bummed they didn’t draft him.

Both the Rams and Seahawks took a receiver in the third round of that draft. The results:

Cooper Kupp, Rams - 634 catches, 7776 yards, 57 TDs

Amara Darboh, Seahawks - 8 catches, 71 yards, 0 TDs

That draft as a whole was an unmitigated disaster. We traded down three times before we made our first pick, but ended up with two second rounders, four third rounders, and another pick near the top of round four.

The second rounders: Malik McDowell, Ethan Pocic
The third rounders: Shaquil Griffin, Lano Hill, Nazair Jones, Amara Darboh
That early fourth rounder: Tedric Thompson

Quantity isn't always better than quality.

2 years ago he would have been 30 plus

The only reason you get him for 15 is because of said injury concerns

Definitely valid worries, but worth the risk

 

[Rat]

Why don’t you like Amari Cooper?

Liked him a lot for most of his career, but he looks beyond washed to me at this point, and I don't want to be in a position where we're depending on him.

Pocic actually had a pretty good career. Maybe giving the young guys a little time to mature and learn ain’t such a bad thing.

 

[Double Tribble]

Talk about the worst case scenario if you're the Rams.

No kidding! About time they felt our wrath.

Do we have an out clause after this year if he stinks up the joint?
