The Rams face tough choices ahead as Cooper Kupp’s future hangs in the balance alongside Matthew Stafford’s.
Los Angeles: After a tough loss to the Eagles, Cooper Kupp walked off the field, possibly for the last time in a Rams uniform. It was a somber moment as he took in the empty stadium.
With the Rams’ season over, Kupp’s future is uncertain. Once a top receiver, he might be a casualty of the salary cap. The team has big decisions to make about him and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Stafford, who turns 37 soon, still shows he can play. He threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles, almost leading a comeback. Coach Sean McVay praised him, saying he put the team in a position to win.
But Stafford’s future is also unclear. He restructured his contract before the season, and while he’s proud of his time with the Rams, he needs to think about what’s next.
Kupp, on the other hand, is in a tougher spot. He caught five passes for 61 yards in the playoff game, but injuries have affected his performance. The Rams might consider trading him unless he agrees to a pay cut.
After the game, Kupp chose not to speak, hinting at changes ahead. Whether it’s a new contract or a new team, next season will look different for him.
It’s a pivotal moment for both players and the Rams as they navigate their futures.
