Rams Lower Asking Price for Cooper Kupp as Trade Deadline Nears
The Los Angeles Rams seek to trade Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, with Jacksonville Jaguars emerging as potential frontrunners.
- The Rams are actively pursuing a trade for wide receiver Cooper Kupp, slashing their asking price to a fifth-round pick to avoid a $7.5 million roster bonus due by March 12.
- Kupp, a former Super Bowl MVP and 2021 Offensive Player of the Year, expressed disappointment but remains determined to prove his value to a new team.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars have emerged as favorites to acquire Kupp, with other teams like the Broncos, Chargers, and Patriots also speculated as possibilities.
- Kupp’s declining role in the Rams’ offense, coupled with his $29.8 million cap hit, influenced the team's decision to move on from the veteran receiver.
- At 31, Kupp maintains he is still ascending as a player and aims to contribute significantly to a contender in the coming seasons.
