Something Cardinals related that I’m actually excited for! Back on the old board I used to complain how we dendritic have a dedicated kick returner, and in the 2016 draft was hoping we would go after Cooper if he fell to the 4th or 5th round to be used as a returner with development potential at WR. Last year he was the league’s leader in yards per kickoff return, and a Pro Bowl returner at 22 yrs old. This year he injured his foot Week 1 for the Rams and with their loaded roster was put on IR. The amazing Cooper Kupp is now their future return guy (now also injured). Rams activated Cooper but needed RB depth for their playoff run so cut Cooper to make room, and we had first shot at him and took it. I hope he sticks and contributes as a returner and possibly WR for Josh in years to come. I liked him a lot coming out of college.

This is actually a very solid pickup....it makes one wonder why the Rams cut him....hmmmmm. Beggars cant be choosy.It should be noted that we have the #1 pick therefore we have the #1 waiver claim. There wouldve been a feeding frenzy to claim him if not us.
This is more of a 2019 signing. He could very well slide in as our #2-#3 WR (depending whos #1 after Larry retires). And he immediately is our special teams returner. Good signing. Still Keim gets fired.
And MAN what a fall from grace for Cooper. Goes from a superbowl contender to the worst team in the league. Life comes at you fast

Life comes at you fast I think the Rams cut him because they needed room for CJ Anderson at RB while Gurley is beat up, he is just off IR and working back into KR shape, they bought a very full roster for this year’s run, and have Kupp for returns in the future. Rich team problems, and as the poor team we got first crack at him.

No brainer in my mind. He is under contract for $720k next year. Why not bring him and kick the tires. I told my friend we should scoop him up, didnt think it would actually happen.

People were mocking this on social media, I actually really like the pickup. Developmental receiver, but in the mean time can be a contributor on special teams. I do think it spells the end for TJ Logan if Cooper can get up to full fitness.

I like picking up players that teams are forced to cut because they need another roster spot. Cooper was a player like as well coming out of college If he can contribute as a WR/KR that would be great. Antonio Cromartie was here as DB/KR and had several great games.

When I heard Cooper was signed, my heart skipped a beat. Then I heard Rams "receiver". Whew.

Life comes at you fast I’m guessing that thought crossed his mind.. Hopefully he is happy to have a job, and an opportunity to extend his career.. If he comes in with an optimistic attitude, he could be in the best place possible. If he doesn’t have this attitude then he won’t make the team in 2019. I agree this was a good signing, I’d think he would be grateful for the chance, and not to mention 3/4 of a million dollars.

I do think it spells the end for TJ Logan if Cooper can get up to full fitness. TJ has just not been given the chance by Wilks and Co. Wilks is wasting our 2017 5th rd draft pick. Like he did Boehm and Holden. But he's since had to get Holden back. Not that I don't think Cooper is a good pick up. But he's not ready to play consistently coming off the IR. He's gotten a tryout for the 2019 season from SK.
