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

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
