Rams Aim to Retain Kupp Amid Trade Rumors

Cooper Kupp has been central to NFL trade rumors as the Los Angeles Rams have reportedly entertained offers for him, particularly from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite interest from teams like the Steelers, Rams coach Sean McVay expressed a strong desire to retain Kupp, emphasizing his importance to the team. The Rams set a high asking price of a second-round pick for Kupp, who recently returned from an ankle injury to contribute to a Rams victory. Meanwhile, the Steelers, seeking to bolster their wide receiver corps, are also considering alternatives like Darius Slayton from the New York Giants. The NFL trade deadline approaches on November 5, adding urgency to these discussions. Kupp's contract, which carries significant salary cap implications, may complicate any potential trade agreements.
