Cooper Kupp and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed on a three-year, $45 million contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Friday because the contract hasn’t been signed.
Kupp, the Super Bowl 56 MVP, was released by the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday. He’ll help replace DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett for his home state team in Seattle, which traded quarterback Geno Smith and signed Sam Darnold in free agency.

It appears Ja’Marr Chase‘s ability to play the long game with the Cincinnati Bengals will indeed get him paid in a big way. The star wide receiver is expected to land a deal that will pay him between $40.2 million to $41 million per season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal would put Chase ahead of other big-money wide receivers like fellow LSU wide receiver and Minnesota Vikings star Jordan Jefferson ($140 million over four years) and the Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb ($136 million over four years).
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.

Justin Thomas had the course record in his grasp, but he wound up tying the best score ever shot at TPC Sawgrass.
Justin Thomas stood on the 18th tee at TPC Sawgrass with a chance at history.
If he could make a par, he would set a new course record with an 11-under 61. But since Thomas made a mess of this challenging hole the day before, he felt extra pressure. On Thursday, Thomas tugged his tee shot into the water that extends down the entire 18th hole.
The Bengals are actively working to get both wide receivers, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed as soon as possible, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
