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

      Because this all stemmed from projecting the type of player a draft prospect could become.  It's impossible to project a career/legacy, too many unknown factors You said Mike Evans was one of the best WRs of the last decade.  I was saying he only is because of the entirety of his career, not because he was ever actually one of the best WRs in the league at any given time.  Mike Evans is not going to be a HOFer because he was an elite WR, it's going to be because he was a very good one for a long time, the same way Gore will be in the HOF. All those players from the last decade were guys who had peak seasons of being a better player than Evans, but whether health, the QB/team, something else, or still just too young in their career, they couldn't sustain it long enough to have the same career as him, but at one time or another, they were better than Evans. I'm saying T-Mac is going to be an elite WR, his peak will be better than Evans best season(s), just like those guys I listed.  But I'm not predicting he'll be a HOFer because that's just nonsense to predict of almost any prospect in the NFL.  You need to be a Wemby type of prospect to really be worthy of actually being expected to be a HOF player before you even get drafted. And it's no knock on Evans or his career.  There is nothing wrong with not ever being one of the best WRs at any time, but being so good for so long that you still get into the HOF.  Combine that with a ring and it's a career that anyone would take coming out from college, even if they aspire to have a better peak.

      I don't get the peak one season argument. Consistency and availability is massive part of the equation
