The NFL commerce market has been surprisingly lively with the deadline nonetheless greater than two weeks away, and yet one more former All-Professional huge 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 assumption from rivals is that Sean McVay and firm would possibly turn out to be 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 an interesting one to think about,” Rapoport stated. “(At) 31 years previous, clearly Cooper Kupp has been attempting to come back again from a high-ankle sprain. He’s unlikely to go (Sunday), however subsequent week ought to be on the market and ought to be wholesome for the commerce deadline.
“Might Cooper Kupp be accessible? He’s clearly properly preferred within the constructing. He was in Sean McVay’s first draft class, however definitely somebody who may completely assist a crew attempting to search for one remaining piece for the playoff push. The Rams are 1-4. In the event that they proceed to lose, definitely they might look to promote.”
Rapoport added that the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the many groups which might be looking for huge receiver assist.
Kupp has not performed since Week 2 due to an ankle harm. He has been one of the vital productive receivers within the NFL when wholesome, however he has had a tough time staying on the sphere in recent times.
It appears unlikely that groups can be keen to surrender a excessive draft decide for Kupp. The Las Vegas Raiders obtained 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 most likely get so much 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 difficulty since. He has 18 catches for 147 yards and a rating in two video games this season.
