Excitement is palpable among Seattle Seahawks fans as Cooper Kupp, a star wide receiver formerly with the Los Angeles Rams, is set to don the Seahawks’ colors after signing a lucrative three-year contract worth up to $45 million this offseason. For those who watched Kupp shine as a collegiate athlete at Eastern Washington University, this moment carries a personal connection and adds to the thrill of his return to the Pacific Northwest.
Kupp first showcased his talent during media day, wearing the Seahawks’ College Navy and Action Green uniforms, which many fans, including the team’s official Twitter account, praised as a great fit for the Super Bowl LVI MVP. While health concerns have shadowed Kupp—who is coming off a season in which he recorded 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns in just 12 games—his ability to perform when healthy is well-established. If he can maintain similar productivity in the upcoming season, it would significantly bolster Seattle’s offensive capabilities.
The Seahawks are gearing up to kick off their 2025 season at home against the San Francisco 49ers, setting the stage for a highly anticipated matchup. The arrival of Kupp not only brings hope for the Seahawks but also unites fans across Washington, from Eagles supporters to Husky, Cougar, and Wildcat followers, as they celebrate the return of one of their own.
Kupp’s past achievements, along with his potential contributions to the Seahawks, suggest that Seattle’s offense might be in for an exhilarating season ahead.
