Rams to trade Cooper Kupp

The Los Angeles Rams told star wide receiver Cooper Kupp that they're trying to move him.

"I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships," Kupp posted on X.

"I don't agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in L.A.," Kupp added.

The Rams shopped Kupp before the league's trade deadline but opted to keep him for the remainder of the season. L.A. was reportedly seeking a second-round pick in return for the wideout and was willing to take on some of his 2024 salary to facilitate a trade.

Kupp has two years remaining on his current contract that is set to account for $29.7 million against the salary cap in 2025, per Over the Cap.

Kupp has seen his role in the Rams' offense decline over the past two seasons as Puka Nacua has quickly become a focal point in the passing game.

Although Kupp was unsure of his future with the Rams following their playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he was adamant about his desire to continue his playing career.

The 31-year-old has been with the Rams for eight seasons. He achieved the triple crown during the 2021 campaign when he led the league with 145 catches, 1,947 yards, and 16 touchdowns, making him a vital part of the Rams' Super Bowl LVI title run.

The 2021 first-team All-Pro receiver missed time this season due to an ankle injury, but he still finished second on the team with 710 yards on 67 receptions for six touchdowns in 12 games.

Kupp has collected 634 receptions, 7,776 yards, and 57 touchdowns during his time in Los Angeles.
