Though the Los Angeles Rams decided to part ways with wide receiver Cooper Kupp this offseason, his departure has been bittersweet for several of his teammates. Kupp spent the first eight years of his career with the Rams. Not only was he a longtime cornerstone of the franchise, but a reliable teammate and leader for other Rams players - a teammate they did not want to see go. Even Kupp himself wanted to remain with the organization.

The Rams ultimately chose to release Kupp, and he went on to sign a three-year, $45 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Before Kupp's departure to the Seahawks, multiple Rams players got together to say goodbye and hold one last workout with Kupp, including Puka Nacua, Matthew Stafford, Jordan Whittington, and former offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth.
