The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for a potential trade of star receiver Cooper Kupp after general manager Les Snead confirmed the team's interest in moving him. Kupp, the former NFL offensive player of the year, faces a $20 million salary in 2025, prompting discussions about a possible trade given his injuries and emergence of newcomer Puka Nacua. Snead termed this situation as a ‘time for the next chapter for both parties,’ acknowledging Kupp's significant contributions while addressing the difficulties ahead.
Kupp, who signed a massive extension in 2022, is scheduled to earn about $20 million in salary and bonuses in 2025, with a $7.5-million roster bonus due next week.
‘We felt like this could be, let's call it, 'a time for the next chapter for both parties,'’ Snead said. ‘Even though, obviously, all the chapters up until now have been definitely very fruitful and impactful.’
After the Rams started 1-4 last season, Snead said the Rams fielded trade inquiries from other teams. But the Rams turned around their season, finished with a 10-7 record.
