Rams Release Cooper Kupp and Jets Prepare to Part Ways with Aaron Rodgers

The NFL league year begins with major roster changes, including Cooper Kupp's departure from the Rams and Aaron Rodgers' expected release from the Jets.

The Los Angeles Rams released wide receiver Cooper Kupp after failing to find a trade partner, citing financial and roster considerations.
Kupp, a former Super Bowl MVP and 2021 Offensive Player of the Year, struggled with injuries and declining production in recent seasons.
The New York Jets are expected to release quarterback Aaron Rodgers following a disappointing two-year stint, with Justin Fields set to take over the position.
Rodgers, a four-time MVP, joined the Jets in 2023 but faced challenges, including a season-ending Achilles injury in his debut year and inconsistent performance in 2024.
Other notable NFL moves include Damar Hamlin re-signing with the Bills, the Vikings acquiring Javon Hargrave, and the Seahawks signing DeMarcus Lawrence and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
