Cooper Kupp will not be joining the New England Patriots this offseason. The veteran wide receiver reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
While the Patriots, Cowboys, and Saints expressed interest in signing Kupp, it doesn't really sound like other teams had a shot. The Washington native and former Eastern Washington Eagle wanted to remain on the West Coast, and he got the contract he was seeking with Seattle set to pay him $45 million.
Kupp is no longer the game-changing receiver he was for a good chunk of his career and hasn't played a full season in three years, but he would have been a nice upgrade for New England.
