The dude has been beat to hell the last few years, and I’m not sure he can stay healthy.

But I’d add two things …

— Matt is going to struggle without him. He just will. He’s a QB that absolutely needs his binky, and him and Kupp clicked.
— I would not hate the Lions trying to make something work if Tim Patrick is not in our plans. Existing chemistry w Goff and Kupp would be great insurance should something happen to ARSB.

They should trade him to 2021. Would get a significantly better return.

Massive pass.

There’s no way the acquiring team is paying that contract, and Kupp is aware of that. Not sure why we cling to these things, as these deals are usually revisited.

I’m actually … wanting this to happen.

And I think it will.

Brad knows the LA front office. He’s the one who decided to draft Kupp, I believe.

Looks like I’m not alone …

He has the Lions flipping a fifth rounder for Kupp. :point_down:

Brad and Dan value football players. Kupp checks that box over and over and over again.

When receiver careers end, they often drop off a cliff. We’re watching that happen to Kupp.

That has already become Puka. He was targeted something like 37% of snaps last year after he returned from injury, which is an all-time high.

Of course he won’t get paid that.

I posted it as it probably being the reason they want to trade him.

Too many injuries hard pass.

Stafford has Puka to fill Kupps role.

That’s really damning considering how bad Stafford needs the old Kupp. Sports is a harsh world, no time for being sentimental.

isnt most of his money now non gtd though?

Yeah Puka is his new man.

But woof, sucks for the Rams fans, thought he was gonna be a lifer, but Snead is a good GM for a reason, dude knows when he needs to pull the trigger on moves, andw hen to move on.

People said that about Tim Patrick, and he had a revival in Detroit.

I’m not expecting 130 catch Kupp.

I think he’s good for 30-50 catches a year. And he’d be a gift in the locker room.

Yea, the comp doesn’t work.
What did you pay for Patrick to bring him to Detroit?
What do you have to pay Kupp to get him to Detroit.

His consistant recent injury status is a concern, moreso when you add in money owed and compensation to get him.

If he was 26 I would pull the trigger.
