More often, it doesn’t. More often, an ending is a hard thing. A one-sided thing, as Los Angeles Rams longtime star receiver Cooper Kupp has made clear over the last several weeks as the team worked with his representatives to first trade him, then ultimately released him Wednesday as the new league year began.

After eight years of living in L.A., Anna Marie also shared her excitement, looking ahead and anticipating her husband's future "impact," the relationships awaiting him and "for you to continue to tear apart your opponents," she wrote, addressing Cooper. "To the moon, my King.”

A few weeks ago, wide receiver Cooper Kupp revealed that the Los Angeles Rams were trying to trade him, much to his dismay. But after attempting to reach a trade agreement with a bidding team, the Rams ultimately decided to release him on Wednesday.
