WR Cooper Kupp ends speculation, chooses next team
The speculation surrounding star wide receiver Cooper Kupp's next destination has finally come to an end. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the former Super Bowl MVP is signing with the Seattle Seahawks.
The New England Patriots were believed to be one of many teams in the mix to land Kupp, but according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe, the 31-year-old receiver's asking price reached as high as $15 million per year.
It didn't seem as if the Patriots were willing to break the bank in pursuit of Kupp the same way they were with other recently signed free agents on their roster. That might upset some Patriots fans considering the team's only wide receiver signing up to this point has been Mack Hollins.

It's important to keep in mind that free agency isn't over.
But Kupp was the biggest name left on the board at the wide receiver position. Will the Patriots settle for another aging veteran, or will they start looking toward the 2025 NFL draft? I simulated a potential trade-up scenario in my recent 2025 NFL mock draft where the Patriots address wide receiver in the first round.
They might also consider swinging a trade if one becomes available.
Regardless, the team still has plenty of work to do. The idea of Maye throwing to basically the same receiving corps he did last season isn't thrilling.
