It’s clear the Los Angeles Rams plan to trade Cooper Kupp this offseason, parting ways with the wide receiver after eight seasons. They’ve informed Kupp of their plans, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be able to find a team to take him.

A pre-June 1 trade would already require the Rams to absorb the remaining prorations of Kupp’s signing bonus as a $17.26MM dead cap hit in 2025. That would allow them to pursue other needs in free agency with additional capital in this year’s draft.

In their search for a Cooper Kupp trade partner, the Rams are willing to eat some of the money remaining on the star wide receiver’s contract, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
