The Las Vegas Raiders are on the verge of making a major splash. Sources confirm the Silver and Black are aggressively pursuing a true No. 1 wide receiver, and their options just got a massive upgrade: Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp is officially in play.
After being released by the Los Angeles Rams in a shocking cap-clearing move, Kupp declined to sign with the Seattle Seahawks — and now, he has reportedly turned his attention to joining the Raiders.
League insiders say conversations between Kupp’s camp and the Raiders have intensified over the last 48 hours. With Tom Brady’s influence in the front office and Pete Carroll at the helm, Vegas is positioning itself as the top destination for elite offensive talent — and Kupp could be the next big domino to fall.
If a deal is finalized, this would instantly give the Raiders one of the most dangerous receiving threats in the league, pairing Kupp’s elite route-running and hands with a rebuilt offense led by newly acquired quarterback Geno Smith.
The Raiders have been quietly loading up for a serious run, and adding a weapon like Kupp — a proven leader, former NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and one of the smartest receivers in the game — would send a loud message to the rest of the AFC: Vegas is done rebuilding. They’re coming to win.
Stay tuned. This one could go down fast.
