After the
Rams‘ tough loss on Sunday, Cooper Kupp had some serious thoughts about his future with the Rams. Speaking to the media, the WR shared, “Who knows what’s going to happen? A lot of stuff is out of my control,” leaving fans hanging on his every word. With the uncertainty swirling around the team, Kupp reflected on his trade rumors, saying, “There was obviously stuff that was going on early on in the season.”Cooper Kupp addresses his future with the Rams and makes it clear he wants to stay in LA pic.twitter.com/ncfDcWMAYt

“We’ll see. I don’t have any clarity on what that’s going to look like,” Cooper admitted, suggesting his next steps depend more on the Rams management than his desires. The 31-year-old started his NFL career with the Rams in 2017 and has been with the team ever since. If the Rams part ways with him after eight years, it sure will sting Kupp. Back in 2022, the WR signed an $80.1 million extension with the Rams. Kupp has two years left on the deal. But honestly, the way he’s talking, it sounds like the future might be a bit up in the air.
On the flip side, Rams QB Matthew Stafford might be thinking about calling it quits on his football career. His wife Kelly’s latest post has people talking, and it’s got us all wondering if retirement is something Stafford’s seriously considering.
Is wife Kelly hinting at husband Matthew Stafford’s retirement?
As soon as players hit that 30 mark, the doubters start crawling out of the woodwork. And even if you’re playing for the love of the game, people can still say some brutal things, like ‘they’re just playing for the money.’ Anyway, it was a tough day for Matthew Stafford. The Rams were that underdog team that shocked everyone with their postseason push. But sadly, they couldn’t go any further. As the team says their early goodbyes, Matthew’s wife Kelly has sparked retirement rumors with her latest Instagram post.
After their loss to the Eagles on Sunday, Ms. Stafford shared a heartfelt note for her husband. Along with a few pictures of their daughters and the Rams squad, she captioned, “Aren’t enough words to express how proud I am. I joke about us being old and tired but honestly I could never get tired of watching you out there or watching our girls cheer for their daddy. I’m wondering if this is the end or not… guess we will find out.” Now, everyone’s wondering if Matthew’s ready to hang up his cleats for good after this season.
The former Lions player hasn’t said he’s thinking about retiring. After the game, he told the media, “As far as my future goes, I mean, it’s 30 minutes after our last game, so I’ll take some time to think about it. I feel like I was playing some really good ball.” So, it sounds like he’s not rushing into anything and just needs some time to figure it all out. But it’s Kelly’s caption that’s got everyone scratching their heads. Then again, who knows what she meant by it? Maybe she was just feeling emotional in the moment and those words just slipped out. We all know how social media captions can sometimes say more than we expect, but sometimes they can also just be a raw, unfiltered moment.
