The Los Angeles Rams can apparently imagine giving up two of their key players. There are various interested parties. Rams coach Sean McVay is now commenting.

According to a report by “The Athletic”, the Los Angeles Rams are definitely interested in trade opportunities for two of their superstars. Accordingly, quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Cooper Kupp could leave the franchise if the right offers come in.

Apparently, the Rams are already taking calls about Kupp – they would even be willing to take on part of his 2024 salary in the City of Angels if a second-round pick comes in return.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, “many teams” are eyeing the All-Pro receiver.

Now Rams coach Sean McVay has put a stop to the speculation. “I’ll tell you this. The teams have reached out. Some of the things I’ve seen out there… They’re just not true. We’ve discussed it internally. Teams have called about him. And we’ve let him know.”

He ended his statement with the sentence: “I’m really happy that we have Cooper Kupp back with us. And I expect it to stay that way.”

And starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is reportedly no longer indispensable either. According to information from “ESPN”, the Rams have not seen the 36-year-old as a mandatory future project for some time. Instead, a continuation of the collaboration would be considered “year to year”.

From a financial point of view, in particular, parting with big earners Kupp and Stafford could make sense and make the Rams more flexible in terms of the salary cap.

Stafford has a cap hit of $53.7 million for 2025 and 2026, while Kupp counts for $29.8 million and $27.3 million for each of the next two years.

The Rams have yet to make an official statement on Stafford. According to US reports, there is nothing to the rumored trade to the Minnesota Vikings.
