Cooper Kupp is determined to play in 2024 but is unsure if it will be with the Rams
Los Angeles: So, it looks like Cooper Kupp is in a bit of a pickle. The Rams were thinking about trading him earlier this season, but now that the year is over, he’s not sure what’s next.
Kupp recently mentioned that he’s definitely planning to play in 2024, but he’s got no clue if it’ll be with the Rams. He said, “Who knows what’s going to happen?” and honestly, that’s a fair point.
He’s been a superstar, even snagging the Super Bowl MVP title a few years back. But now, he’s not the main guy anymore, with Puka Nacua stepping up. Plus, he’s got a hefty $20 million owed for 2025, which might be more than what he’s currently bringing to the table.
The Rams have some decisions to make soon, especially with a $7.5 million roster bonus coming up. If Kupp sticks around, he might have to take a pay cut. If he leaves, he could be looking at a similar situation.
There are a lot of moving parts here. What will the Rams offer? What will other teams be willing to pay? It seems like we’ll get some answers at the Scouting Combine.
In the end, Kupp has a few options: stay on his current deal, rework it, get traded, or even be released. The Rams could also wait and see, letting that bonus get paid and possibly trading him later.
