You can’t trade Cooper Kupp!!!!!!! That’s Staffords guy. That’s our guy. He’s a constant professional.

After Donald retired it seems like they are getting rid of all our guys.

Who’s next Havenstein?

But hey where is this team??? Puka Nacua. Is practicing.

We can turn this around.

The NFC looks like shit. The Niners look like shit.

I’m tired of this shit.we can run the table and get in.

And we can win this. Detroit is the only team that looks great. And we beat them nearly.

Now no Aiden Hutchinson. and anything can happen in the playoffs. They have terrible Dbs. With our receivers. We can do this. With Kyren Williams.

This might be Staffords best shot at it. Last shot at it.

The Quarterback talent is gonna be filthy when Arch Manning comes out. He looks like a dog. If we don’t win it this year. This season tear the shit down next year next season.

This draft class is about skill guys. If you want a Quarterback look at next seasons draft. This isn’t the draft to tank.

Now if Kansas City trades for Cooper Kupp they get the Super Bowl that’s the perfect receiver for Kelce. They would be unguardable.

So I’d have to hit them hard. I’d want a 2nd rounder and a 3rd rounder.

Kupp can still be an elite level pro bowl player.

KC, Baltimore, Pitt, Tampa (least likely), Denver as a long shot.

Yes, I have no doubts about the reality now.

Kupp spoke with reporters Tuesday evening about the trade talk.

[BobCarl]

Does this mean that Kupp wouldn't rework his current (guaranteed) contract?

A reworked contract usually means more years that maybe Kupp doesn't want to put in, OR, since Puka is their future star maybe the Rams are just done with Kupp.

KC trading for DHop:

The Chiefs also discussed star receiver Cooper Kupp with the Los Angeles Rams, team sources said, but Kansas City needed to trade with a team that was willing to take on a large chunk of the player’s salary and didn’t want to give up high picks. Tennessee was the team willing to play ball. Hopkins, 32, is in the final season of a two-year, $26 million deal.

Well that’s a relief. I really don’t see how we beat the Vikings. Frankly, if we can, it will be the turning point of the season, IMO. Talk about a confidence builder.

[UtahRam]

Sounds like we are giving up for the season. This front office puzzles me to no end. Should we have just traded him after our Super Bowl win? He would have gotten us a lot more. lol

Yes Kupp is Stafford's guy. So if they are marketing Kupp then they must also feel that Stafford won't be on the team next year.

If that is the case why not package both together? After Thursday's game they can offer both Stafford and Kupp to the Vikings. They could then get Darnold and a first round pick.

The Rams have already been playing without Kupp, and they have a veteran in Jimmy G who can be the bridge until Darnold can play.

I think it's a good supposition that both Cooper and Matt are not likely to be on the Rams in 2025. Both are injury prone and aging. Both are tying up major cap dollars they could use else where next year. Stafford's inability to move is a HUGE anchor on this offense. It's why even when he rolls out the secondaries don't drop coverages in fear of him running. The Rams don't need or necessarily want a running QB. But they want a QB that can run if he has to. It's one of the major weaknesses of the Rams in the Red Zone. The only threat Stafford poses in the Red Zone is with his arm.

Would the Vikings do it? They have already taken their bye week. But the 3 games after the Rams game are the weak part of their schedule. Mullins might only have to start one game and it would give them over 2 weeks to prep Stafford. So yeah it's feasible.

The Lions will be outraged. LOL They would have to face Stafford and Kupp twice a year.
