WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – New Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was in Japan with friends this past weekend, but with how eagerly his new head coach Sean McVay was recruiting him, he might as well have been a part of the trip too.

Which signings will have the most impact and which won't move the needle? NBC News breaks it all down. Nadkarni: I don’t think he’s the player he was five seasons ago, but I love the Los Angeles Rams’ adding Davante Adams on a two-year deal.

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.

Entering the offseason, the Los Angeles Rams made it clear they were planning on moving on from longtime wide receiver Cooper Kupp this offseason. After failing to find a trade partner for him before the new league year, the Rams officially released Kupp on Wednesday, but they made sure to give him a proper send off before he left.

Former Pro Bowl WR Cooper Kupp is in demand on the open market and is expected to choose a new team soon, FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reported.
