Cooper Kupp’s time with the Rams has apparently come to an end. 

In a Monday social media post, Kupp announced that the Rams informed him that they are looking to trade him and will work with him to find the best destination.

“I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA,” Kupp writes. “Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember.

“I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us,” Kupp added. “2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come.”

Kupp, 31, was instrumental in the Rams’ 2021 championship season, winning MVP of Super Bowl LVI. He was the AP offensive player of the year in 2021, winning the receiving triple crown with 145 catches, 1,947 yards, and 16 touchdowns.

But injuries have limited Kupp’s production over the last three seasons. He played nine games in 2022, 12 in 2023, and 12 in 2024. He finished the 2024 season with 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns. He then caught six passes for 90 yards in the postseason.

Kupp is currently under contract through 2026 with a cap number of $29.8 million set for 2025.

A third-round pick in 2017, Kupp was one of the team’s first draft picks under head coach Sean McVay. Kupp has 634 career receptions for 7,776 yards with 57 touchdowns. He ranks No. 3 on the franchise’s all-time list in receptions and receiving touchdowns and No. 4 in receiving yards.

I'd rather have Tee Higgins at 30 million than Kupp at 29.8 million a year. He's gonna be cut as no team is gonna take that cap hit but I'd be willing to roll the dice on a 1-2 year deal around 10 to 15 million a year.

I have been very vocal about being anti Higgins because I don't think he's worth what it will cost us to get him, but I 100% agree on rather overpaying for Higgins than getting Kupp, and I love Kupp.

The problem is he'll be 32 and realistically, the best he can be for us next year is a better Thielen if he's full healthy.  That doesn't add any new dynamic to our team or give Bryce a different type of weapon to have at his disposal to see if he can be a franchise QB.

As for the Tee Higgins fans, take him away from Joe and Chase and make him a #1, he might not be worth close to $30m.

Oh he most definitely isn't, especially when you add in his injury history, which is why I want nothing to do with him in FA, the cap room is more needed to be spent on the defense

      Everyone Pushing to Draft Yet Another WR Early

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'd be very curious who you'd be taking prime Evans over in that first list, especially if you're going their best 1 season, as Evans has never had a multi year dominant streak.  All those guys in that first list have seasons that have easily been better than Evans' best season. For the 2nd list, I'm not saying I'd take them all over Evans, but none of them I'd take Evans without thinking about it, I think if you're talking peak one season type of thing, they all are comparable to Evans from the last decade. I know it's not the end all be all, but prime Evans has never even been a 1st team all pro.  The 3rd most yards he's had in a season was 1,255 in a 17 game season.  He only has 2 seasons where he had over 79 catches and never broke 100.  And he's only had 11 missed games in his 11 year career too, not like his stats were held back due to missing a lot of games. Evans is a great WR, a sure fire HOFer, but even at his peak, he only had a couple seasons of being a Top 10 guy in a given year. His TD numbers are truly elite, I'll give you that, he's 9th all time, but being an elite red zone target doesn't on it's own make you better than other WRs.  But if that's why you view Evans so highly, then T-Mac with his better catch radius than Evans should be even more attractive as he really is going to be one of the best red zone targets in the league from day 1.  His catch radius and hands are going to be deadly in the end zone for whoever drafts him.
