Rams Face Uncertainty Over Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford's Futures

Los Angeles considers trading star receiver Cooper Kupp while negotiating with quarterback Matthew Stafford, potentially signaling a major roster overhaul.

The Los Angeles Rams are exploring a trade for wide receiver Cooper Kupp, with the Washington Commanders reportedly showing interest in acquiring him as a No. 2 option.
Kupp, a key offensive player and former Super Bowl MVP, has confirmed trade rumors, with his age, recent injuries, and significant contract value influencing the Rams' decision-making.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford's future with the Rams is also uncertain as the team evaluates his contract situation and potential trade options ahead of the 2025 season.
Despite a strong 2024 season, Stafford's return depends on reaching a new agreement with the Rams, who are reportedly hesitant to commit to a costly veteran quarterback long-term.
If Stafford is traded, the Rams may pursue experienced quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers or explore stopgap options, while also considering rebuilding through the draft.
