The New England Patriots aren't completely out of the hunt for star free agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp, but the former Super Bowl MVP could price himself out of their range.
Anyone expecting to get the 31-year-old receiver coming off the worst statistical season of his NFL career on a cheapened deal might be disappointed.
According to The Athletic's Jeff Howe, Kupp's asking price has been as high as $15 million per year. However, he might take less to go to a preferred destination.
It's hard envisioning the Patriots being a team the veteran wideout would take a pay cut to sign with in free agency.
