I think Kupp needs to cut weight to get some quickness back. By my calculations heād drop 8 pounds just by cutting his beard.
Heās got a 91ā Ford Escort with a cracked head that heās trying to move. Brad needs to offer him like 400 bucks. Gets us back-and-forth to work over the next year. If weāre lucky, we can squeeze a couple years out of it. Then scrap it out.

Not even just a bad head gasket, weāre talking ācracked headā here.
Thatās bad.

We might get a third year out of him if heās willing to snort some bath salts before every game.
Letās start with the obvious, his current contract. Kupp has a 7.5mil bonus due 3-15, at which point, 5mil of that is guaranteed. if a team trades for Kupp prior to 3-15, Kupp would carry a 20mil cap hit, with 10mil guaranteed.
Unless the Rams agree to eat a large portion of that money, his contract isnāt tradeable. The Rams likely cut him prior to March 15th.
At that point he is free to sign with anyone and does not affect the comp pick formula.
Then the question is what is he looking for? Does he want another payday? Is winning his priority? Would reuniting with his former QB be important to him? Does he want to go somewhere he will get fed the ball?
I know this may sound crazy, but Iād take both Tim Patrick and Kupp. Tim Patrick is an easy resign for 2 years, 8-10mil total.
If Kupp wants to sign for one year for like 5mil base with incentives up to 10 Iād gladly sign up.

Man I think youāve nailed this. I donāt know if heās coming here but heās getting cut and I donāt think heās being signed for much more 10-12 all in

Love it.
But I can see a team with resources and WR needy nabbing him. Maybe the Bills.
Heās gonna be 32 before next season and has missed 35 percent of the games over the past 3 seasons. That contract is gonna be hard to trade. Rams gotta eat at least 70 percent of it to find a trade partner I think.

17 active WRs in the NFL 31 or older
Look at Kupp vs Tim
If we could pick him up at a decent costā¦. Itās worth looking into
Age doesnāt really matter. Jeff Backus was a guy who was better in the 2nd half of his career. Thatās not the norm but there are lots of guys like that. But Kupp is pretty toasty. Sure heās still a good WR when heās healthy, but heās lost more than a step and still misses lots of time. If heās a fit here, heās a better fit elsewhere. We donāt really need him.
For WRās it usually does. @Mr.Peabody had a great thread about WRās after 30 years old last year. I wonder if I can find it.

So he will be a Chief then right?
Kupp just never seems to stay healthy. Has two 1000 yard seasons in his career which is crazy because he almost had 2000 in one of them. Would absolutely love him for the right price though.
Kupp and a 1st for Garrett
I think Kupp will be great get. Hes still productive, it wonāt cost much, Goff is comfortable with him, Brad absolutely loves him, and he adds to the offense.
He would also be HUGE for the WR room. Saint has inside outside versatility just like Kupp and Kupp may help take Saint and Jamo to another level. Kupp is an absolute perfectionist and has insane football IQ, he will be such a great addition to the WR room.

That is absolutely bonkers.
Iām guessing theyāll have to cut him. Just canāt see anyone trading anything for a 20 million receiver that canāt reach 1000 yards due to injury.

That chart makes a better case for trading for Adam Thielen or picking him up if heās a salary cap casualty.

Yea heās definitely not Mike Evanās lol. I love Kupp but I would be shocked if anyone gave up much to trade for him.
