Demotion Coming in Seattle for Cooper Kupp?

Tuesday, March 10, 12:38 PM

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's new deal "suggests a demotion" for Cooper Kupp, who turns 33 years old in June. Last year, Kupp was second on the team in targets (70) and receiving yards (593), and third in catches (47). His 2026 salary cap hit sits at $17.4 million, fourth-highest on the team behind Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, and Uchenna Nwosu. One of either Shaheed or Kupp will end up being a pricey WR3, and the team still has second-year wideout Tory Horton. If the Seahawks were to trade Kupp, they'd save around $9.4 million in 2026. Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), targets (191), receiving yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16) in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams, but he's steadily declined since then. He caught only two touchdown passes in 16 regular-season games in 2025 and might have an even smaller role in his 10th year in the NFL if he stays in Seattle.

Marquise Brown News

Eagles Signing Marquise Brown to One-Year Deal

Tuesday, March 17, 8:16 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million on Tuesday, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Hollywood played in just two games in his first year with the Chiefs in 2024 due to an injury, but he rebounded last year to catch 49 passes on 74 targets for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games (six starts). The 28-year-old pass-catcher has been on the decline since posting his only 1,000-yard season back in 2021 with the Baltimore Ravens. However, Brown could have a decent role in Philly behind DeVonta Smith if the Eagles trade A.J. Brown this offseason. Brown's 2026 fantasy football value will depend largely on whether Brown ends up in another uniform heading into next season. For his career, Brown has averaged 11.6 yards per catch and has 4,322 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns on 371 catches in his seven NFL seasons.
