Seattle Seahawks wide receiver and two-time Super Bowl champion Cooper Kupp may not represent the Los Angeles Rams anymore, but he continues to have a vested interest in their roster decisions, especially as he plays for their rival.
The Rams' Super Bowl hero partnered up with Aaron Donald to win Super Bowl LVI, with Kupp leading the way during the team's game-winning drive and catching the decisive touchdown pass. Donald's pressure on Joe Burrow then resulted in the incompletion and turnover on downs that ended the contest.
That was then, and with rumors swirling that Donald is seriously contemplating a return, Kupp spoke to Rich Eisen about the prospect of facing off against yet another championship teammate.
"I already texted him, and told him he's not allowed, so we're good," Kupp said of Donald possibly returning. "I just texted Aaron and said, 'Don't even think about it,' and left it at that. So, we're good. I'm not worried about it, because he's not. Because I told him he can't. I already nipped it in the bud. No one has to worry."
While others may be goading the NFL great out of retirement, Kupp remains steadfast in his belief that Donald should remain at home. Kupp went on to say he loves Donald, enjoyed playing with him, and that he isn't concerned that Donald's time away from football would impact a potential return.
"That would be crazy," Kupp said. "He is a very good football player. I don't care, whatever, how old he is, how long he hasn't played. Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald. But it doesn't matter, because I told him he can't."
