Cooper Kupp and wife Anna Marie are ready to navigate the NFL unknown together.
Not long after the Rams released the veteran wide receiver Wednesday when the new year league began, Anna Marie took to her Instagram Stories to praise the Super Bowl 2022 MVP, stating his next team “is going to be so f–king lucky to have you in their building.”
“You have the ability to turn the tides of any organization you step foot into,” she posted. “The man that you are, the leader that you embody, the brother on and off the field. The standard you hold yourself to and bring others along in your pursuits. People want to be better because of who you are and how you conduct your business. The joy and pᴀssion you exude in your preparation and your execution is contagious.
“I am so excited for the impact you will have in these coming years. The relationships waiting for you. And for you to continue to tear apart your opponents. To the moon, my King.”
A third-round pick out of Eastern Washington in the 2017 NFL Draft, Kupp has spent his entire NFL career with the Rams, who failed to find a trade partner as free agency began this week.
Kupp’s breakout year was in 2021-22, when he posted career-highs in touchdowns (16), receiving yards (1,947) and receptions (145) en route to Offensive Player of the Year honors and a Super Bowl win.
He caught two touchdowns in the Rams’ Super Bowl-winning victory over the Bengals.
Kupp grappled with injuries in the following seasons and saw his production dip.
Through 12 games last year, Kupp recorded 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns.
Kupp was on the trading block earlier in the year when the Rams got off to a 1-4 start.
When asked about his future with the team following the Rams’ Divisional Round playoff loss to the Eagles in January, Kupp said: “Who knows what’s going to happen.”
“I feel like I’ve got a lot of good football left in me,” the 31-year-old wideout said, according to ESPN. “I’ll be playing football next year. That much I know.”
Anne Marie, who wed Kupp in 2015 and shares three sons with the NFL star, shared a joint tribute video with the wideout on her Instagram page Wednesday, expressing graтιтude for the Rams organization and the city of Los Angeles.
The Rams have since added a new weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford in the form of ex-Jets receiver Davante Adams.
He agreed to a two-year, $46 million deal with the organization on Sunday.
