First look at Cooper Kupp in a Seahawks uniform
As a graduate of Eastern Washington University who got to see Cooper Kupp play college football at the same time I was a student in Cheney, I will fully admit my bias is on display when I say Kupp is arguably the most exciting acquisition the Seattle Seahawks made in free agency. However, I do not believe I am alone when it comes to this level of excitement. It does not matter if you're an Eagle, a Husky, a Cougar or Wildcat, seeing one of the greatest football players the state of Washington return "home" to play for Seattle is something 12's across the Pacific Northwest can truly rejoice with.
Week 1 of the regular season is still several months away, but fans got their first glimpse of Kupp in a Seahawks uniform during Seattle's media day. I must say, I agree with the team's official Twitter account by stating the College Navy and Action Green of the Seahawks' home uniform looks great on the MVP of Super Bowl LVI.
Kupp signed a three-year deal this offseason worth up to $45 million dollars. Health and durability have become considerable concerns for the former receiving Triple Crown winner, but when he's on the field he is still as productive as ever. In 12 games for the Rams in 2024, Kupp still managed to haul in 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns. If he can find a way to replicating that kind of output in 2025 it will be a tremendous success for Seattle.
The Seahawks will begin the 2025 campaign at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Seattle.
