The Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks entered last season expecting to make the playoffs. Yet, while the Packers won 11 games and the Seahawks won 10, only Green Bay reached the postseason, but they didn’t get far after being eliminated in the Wild Card Round.

Now, both teams are doing their best to try strengthening their roster in anticipation of another playoff run. The Seahawks have already been busy drastically transforming their roster, and the Packers have made several changes too. Now, the two teams could be competing to land the same former All-Pro talent.

After trying to find a trade partner for the past month, the Los Angeles Rams finally released former All-Pro receiver on Wednesday at the start of the new league year. Kupp is free to sign with any team he desires, and there are two that are already viewed as leading candidates.

NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah believes “Seattle would be a great fit” for Kupp. Meanwhile, the 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov says the Packers “are among several teams who have been eyeing” Kupp’s market.

Now that he’s a free agent instead of a trade candidate, Kupp shouldn’t have any trouble finding a new team. Set to turn 32 in June, Kupp’s biggest impediment has been his inability to stay healthy. The former Rams receiver hasn’t played in more than 12 games since 2021 and has just one 1,000-yard season on his resume.

However, if Kupp lands in the right spot, with a high-powered passing attack, he just might be able to help a contending team compete for another Super Bowl.
