The NFL commerce market has been surprisingly energetic with the deadline nonetheless greater than two weeks away, and yet one more former All-Professional vast receiver is receiving curiosity from contending groups.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported on Sunday that a number of groups have referred to as the Los Angeles Rams to inquire a couple of potential commerce for Cooper Kupp. The Rams entered Week 7 at 1-4, so the idea from rivals is that Sean McVay and firm may turn into sellers main as much as the deadline.
“My understanding is groups have been calling the Los Angeles Rams for a possible Cooper Kupp commerce, which is a captivating one to think about,” Rapoport stated. “(At) 31 years previous, clearly Cooper Kupp has been making an attempt to return again from a high-ankle sprain. He’s unlikely to go (Sunday), however subsequent week must be on the market and must be wholesome for the commerce deadline.
“May Cooper Kupp be out there? He’s clearly nicely preferred within the constructing. He was in Sean McVay’s first draft class, however actually somebody who may completely assist a staff making an attempt to search for one ultimate piece for the playoff push. The Rams are 1-4. In the event that they proceed to lose, actually they may look to promote.”
Rapoport added that the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the many groups which can be trying to find vast receiver assist.
Kupp has not performed since Week 2 due to an ankle harm. He has been one of the crucial productive receivers within the NFL when wholesome, however he has had a tough time staying on the sphere lately.
It appears unlikely that groups can be prepared to surrender a excessive draft decide for Kupp. The Las Vegas Raiders acquired a conditional third-round decide that might flip right into a second after they traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets. The Rams would in all probability get rather a lot lower than that for Kupp, so they might not really feel a commerce is worth it.
Kupp had 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2021, however accidents have been a problem since. He has 18 catches for 147 yards and a rating in two video games this season.
