""I could give you a dissertation on what I think about the whole quarterback position," Kupp said. "In short, I do think the plugs get pulled on guys a little early.""
""Sam and I are really close," Mayfield said. "I'm happy for him - from going a couple different places that weren't great for us to having a good opportunity elsewhere, it's fun to see. I knew he just needed that chance, and he's thriving now. It's good to see, but hopefully not this weekend.""
Cooper Kupp witnessed Baker Mayfield's four-game stretch with the Rams in 2022 revive Mayfield's career after a release by the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023 and has thrown an NFL-best 77 touchdown passes since joining them. Sam Darnold moved from struggles with the New York Jets and Carolina to a standout 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings and earned a three-year, $100.5 million contract from the Seattle Seahawks. Mayfield and Darnold were selected two picks apart in the 2018 draft and were teammates in Carolina in 2022.
