Kendrick Bourne is actively trying to recruit Cooper Kupp to the Patriots
Foxboro: So, Kendrick Bourne is really trying to bring some star power to the Patriots. He’s been reaching out to wide receivers on social media, and this time, he’s got his sights set on Cooper Kupp from the Rams.
Bourne recently quote tweeted Kupp’s comments about his future in L.A. It’s clear he’s hoping to convince Kupp to join the Patriots. Kupp’s under contract for two more years, but he’s had his share of injuries lately.
At 31, Kupp has missed quite a few games, which raises some eyebrows. His cap hit for 2025 is nearly $30 million, which is a hefty price tag. If the Rams trade him before June 1, they could save some cash, but it’s a tricky situation.
When Kupp is healthy, he’s a game-changer. The Patriots saw that firsthand when he lit them up with six catches for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in a game last season. He’s definitely a player who can make a difference.
While Bourne is aiming high, it might be smarter for the Patriots to look for younger talent. Tee Higgins, for instance, is just 26 and could be a great fit. But let’s be real, Kupp would be a massive upgrade for the Patriots’ receiving corps.
In the end, it’s all about making the right moves to get the team back on track. Bourne’s efforts show he’s serious about improving the squad, and who knows? Maybe Kupp will consider the offer.
