New quarterback, new receivers, new offensive coordinator and offensive coaching staff. That’s no problem for Mike Macdonald, whose visions for the Seahawks in 2025 remain focused on pursuing the Lombardi Trophy.

Though he has played his entire career in Los Angeles to this point, Cooper Kupp isn’t a stranger to building chemistry with a new quarterback, and he’s brimming with confidence as he prepares to work with Sam Darnold in a Seahawks uniform.

After enduring a difficult split from the Rams that he never thought would happen, Cooper Kupp has bought what the Seahawks are selling for the next chapter of his career, eager to finally sport the colors that he grew up cheering for in nearby Yakima.

After landing a replacement for Geno Smith and supplementing both their receiving corps and edge rush units, the Seahawks still have plenty of areas left to shore up as free agency slows to a crawl and the NFL draft rapidly approaches.

Plugging several holes in the first week of free agency, the Seahawks still have one glaring need heading towards a critical 2025 NFL Draft, but that issue could be remedied as early as Monday.

Injuries have slowed down Cooper Kupp in recent seasons, but his remaining strengths should allow him to mesh well in Klint Kubiak’s scheme alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba as part of a rebuilt Seahawks receiving corps.

Choosing to return to his home state after being courted by multiple teams, the Seahawks needed Cooper Kupp as much as the receiver needed them, making a three-year pact perfect for all parties.

Unlike a year ago, the Seahawks have prioritized signing players with previous links to their coaching staff this offseason, a trend that likely will continue as free agency progresses into the second and third phase.
