Damn, the NFL is cutthroat, and here’s another example.
It appears that wide receiver Cooper Kupp‘s time with the Los Angeles Rams could be coming to an end. Recently, there was some chatter that Kupp could be placed on the block and targeted by multiple teams, and it looks like that’s exactly what’s happening.

According to a report Monday from The Athletic, Los Angeles is speaking with several franchises about the possibility of trading Kupp, a Pro Bowl wide receiver and former Super Bowl MVP for the Rams.
Already making numerous phone calls to exchange Kupp, the Rams want a second-round pick for the 31-year-old’s services. In fact, Los Angeles is so inclined to move Kupp that they’re even willing to pay some of his 2024 salary to make sure a deal gets done.

We all know what this is about … Money.
According to Spotrac, Kupp is slated to make $9.1 million in guaranteed money in the 2024 campaign in his current contract, and here’s what Los Angeles is trying to avoid: a $20 million salary in 2025 and another $20 mill ($19.85 million to be exact) in 2026.
Business is business, and that’s exactly what this situation is.
