NFL – Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp on the market?

The Los Angeles Rams can apparently imagine giving up two of their key players. There are already various interested parties.

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 Cupp – they would even be willing to take on part of his 2024 salary in the City of Angels if a second-round pick were to be offered in return.

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

Do the Rams want to get rid of Stafford?

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

From a financial perspective in particular, parting with big earners Kupp and Stafford could make sense and make the Rams more flexible with regard to 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.
