The Los Angeles Rams have reportedly initiated trade discussions involving wide receiver Cooper Kupp, a former Super Bowl MVP and All-Pro receiver, with multiple NFL teams expressing interest in acquiring him. According to reports by Dianna Russini, Mike Silver, and Jourdan Rodrigue, the Rams are seeking a second-round draft pick in exchange for Kupp and are willing to absorb a portion of his 2024 salary to facilitate a deal. Potential suitors mentioned include the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Kupp addressed the trade rumors, stating, "It is that time of year. There's going to be rumors and things that go around. I let that stuff, as much as I can, be in the background." The Rams, currently holding a 1-4 record, appear open to moving Kupp as they navigate the current NFL season.
