The Los Angeles Rams just made a big call on Cooper Kupp’s future, and one franchise legend had something to say about it. A Super Bowl hero and one of the most reliable targets in the league, Kupp’s status with the team has been a hot topic.
Now, as the Rams lock in their decision, a former great is showing love with a heartfelt message.
Andrew Whitworth Shows Love as Cooper Kupp’s Trade News Stuns Rams Fans
Kupp just dropped a bombshell, and Rams fans aren’t ready. The Super Bowl 56 MVP confirmed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the team is actively seeking a trade for him — a move he didn’t see coming.
“I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA,” Kupp admitted on X.
The star receiver made it clear he’s still locked in. “Highly motivated, as healthy as ever… looking forward to playing elite football for years to come.” Translation: Kupp isn’t slowing down.
Rams legend Andrew Whitworth quickly showed love, reposting Kupp’s message with a heartfelt note: “Love you brother! Forever bonded! Way beyond football!” The bond between these two Super Bowl champs runs deep, and Whitworth’s words hit fans hard.

Speaking of fans, the reactions were heated.
“Wow this has actually shocked me. I know the team is looking abit rough atm but our best WR and they want to trade him? For what picks for rookies doesn’t add up to me,” one posted, questioning why the Rams would trade their best WR.
Another kept it simple: “KUPP NEEDS TO STAY.”

Some, like Whitworth, focused on the legacy beyond the game. “Totally! It’s more than just football, it’s about a lasting connection. Much love!”
Kupp’s future might be uncertain, but one thing’s clear: he’s leaving L.A. with nothing but respect. And wherever he lands next, he’s coming for it all.
Puka Nacua Reacts to Kupp’s Trade News
Puka Nacua wasn’t expecting this NBA-style trade drama in the NFL. After Kupp announced the Rams are seeking to trade him, Nacua took to X with a quick quip: “So I thought it was just the NBA trade season.”
Kupp’s shock announcement hit hard on Monday, revealing that the Rams plan to move him immediately. It’s a surprising decision, considering Kupp’s crucial role in the Rams’ offense over the years, including his pivotal contribution to their Super Bowl 56 victory in 2021. The wide receiver’s been the face of the team’s passing attack alongside Nacua, the emerging star drafted in 2023.

While the trade talks swirl, both Kupp and Nacua have put the team first, but this decision shakes up the core of the Rams’ offense.
