And now being without one of their top three guys \u2013 and arguably their most physically gifted pass-catcher, who is set to miss the start of the 2025 season \u2013 the team certainly needs reinforcements in that department<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3321,h_1868,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_912,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/packer_central\/01jkb6ez0dqg5v3530bq.jpg\" alt=\"Cooper Kupp to Packers? Here Are Latest Odds\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although the passing offense has been efficient under Jordan Love over the past one-and-a-half years, fans and media alike have lamented the fact that the young QB does not have a true WR1.<\/p>\n<p>The whole football world saw how Josh Allen\u2018s progress went to another level with the addition of Stefon Diggs, or how much the young Jayden Daniels relies on his #1, Terry McLaurin.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Jordan Love has never had a singular, wholly reliable, elite target: a go-to player at critical third downs, like Davante Adams was for Aaron Rodgers during his late-MVP years of 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the Packers used to have the opposite problem with Rodgers \u2013 they had very few playmakers on the receiving corps beyond Adams and, to a smaller extent, the contributions of Allen Lazard.<\/p>\n<p>And now with Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks, Green Bay has multiple players that excel in different facets of the game, but no one player who can put it all together \u2013 at least not yet.<\/p>\n<h2>What Would Kupp Bring To The Packers\u2019 Offense?<\/h2>\n<p>For draft-and-develop purists, the addition of Kupp may seem futile. But for the other 99% of Packer fans out there, Kupp would be a vehemently celebrated addition to the team.<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, the Kupp has won a championship \u2013 and been the leading receiver on that championship team. And despite his injuries, there are many indications that the former Ram has a lot left to offer any NFL team. In fact, had the Rams not chanced up All-Pro sensation, Puka Nacua, in the fifth round of the 2023 draft, it is quite possible Kupp would not be on the open market.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries have cut off at least five games out of each of the past three seasons since the Super Bowl victory. And in all three of those seasons, Kupp was on pace for a 1000 yard year, had he stayed healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Health is clearly an operative concern with Kupp, who has struggled to stay on the field in recent seasons \u2013 but if they can get him for 3\/4 of the seasons and \u2013 if they make it there \u2013 the playoffs, that would be well worth it for the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Green Bay Packers faithful have been clamoring for an addition to the receiver room since the team\u2019s unspectacular playoff exit in the Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
