Les Snead: Cooper Kupp Staying with Rams 'Least Likely' Scenario amid NFL Trade Rumors

The Los Angeles Rams are looking to trade wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and while a return isn't out of the question, it is the "least likely" scenario, general manager Les Snead said Wednesday.

Kupp revealed on Feb. 3 that the Rams were looking to trade him "immediately."

Kupp, who turns 32 on June 15, has played his entire eight-year career in Los Angeles.

Kupp once posted one of the best individual offensive seasons in NFL history, leading the league with 145 catches, 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2021.

Not only did Kupp win Offensive Player of the Year honors, but he helped lead the Rams to a Super Bowl title against the Cincinnati Bengals. He scored the game-winning touchdown and was named Super Bowl MVP for his efforts.

Unfortunately, injuries have forced Kupp to miss 18 games over the past three seasons, and his production has suffered as a result. Last season, Kupp caught 67 passes for 710 yards and six scores in 12 games. He had a relatively quiet postseason with just six receptions for 90 yards in two contests.

Kupp has two years remaining on a three-season, $80,100,000 contract extension, per Over the Cap.

The third-round pick out of Eastern Washington was sensational in eight years with the Rams, and he'll forever be a franchise legend. But the Rams have made clear that they want to move on, even if Kupp doesn't want that to happen.

If a trade doesn't occur, then an outright release could be on the table, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted.

For now, Kupp remains a Ram, but the question at this point is where his next NFL home will be, and how he gets there.
