In a shocking turn of events, the Los Angeles Rams are reportedly shopping former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, with rumors swirling of potential interest from the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. According to reports, the Rams are open to trading the star wide receiver and are even willing to cover part of his salary, seeking a second-round draft pick in return.
Kupp, who was instrumental in the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI win against the Cincinnati Bengals, has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons. The 31-year-old has only played 23 of the Rams’ 39 games since his stellar 2021 campaign, where he won the receiver’s triple crown by leading the NFL in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
Although Kupp returned to practice recently following an ankle injury sustained in Week 2, the Rams are reportedly considering their options as younger talent, such as Puka Nacua, has emerged as the team’s leading receiver. With the Chiefs and 49ers rumored as potential landing spots, a trade for Kupp could shake up the NFL as both teams eye a Super Bowl run.
