A blockbuster trade proposal has an AFC contender landing Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp in a move that would make them the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest threat to a potential three-peat.
Cooper Kupp has been widely mentioned in trade rumors this month, but it will take a significant haul for the Rams to give him up. After missing four games with an ankle injury, he returned last Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings and helped LA to a 30-20 victory that put them right back in the playoff race.
At 3-4, the Rams are just half a game out of first in the NFC West. The Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals are in a three-way tie for first place at 4-4, but a healthy Rams team could certainly make a run at the crown.
But what if the Rams got an offer they couldn’t refuse for Cooper Kupp? He’s 31 years of age and has missed time the last three seasons with injuries, so one can argue that GM Les Snead is better of trading Kupp while his value is high.
Logan Ulrich of NFLTradeRumors.co proposed a blockbuster trade idea that has the Rams sending Kupp to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and wide receiver Calvin Austin:
“Adding more firepower on offense seems to be a clear goal for the Steelers in pursuit of Tomlin’s greater goals.
Kupp would be an interesting fit in Steelers OC Arthur Smith’s scheme. He’s at his best over the middle of the field and Smith’s offense this year has put a heavy emphasis on the sidelines, as both Fields and Wilson aren’t as adept attacking the middle of the field for differing reasons. But Kupp is an excellent blocker and has reliable hands, so there are ways he’d be able to fit in and contribute.”
