Rams releasing WR Cooper Kupp unless a trade materializes - Cowboy connection

[TheMarathonContinues]

Why would he leave the Rams to sign with the Cowboys? At this point in Kupps career he can pick a KC or another contender to actually play for a Super Bowl.

I mean guys go
Where the money is or opportunity. Chiefs receiver room looking thick right now. In Dallas who does he have to beat out? Tolbert?

Adams and Puka will get the majority of the touches. He is now the 3rd option if he stays

Kupp signed a three-year contract extension worth $80.1 million. He just completed the first season of that contract, which is scheduled to count $29.8 million against the cap next season and $27.3 million in 2026.

He's too expensive for Jerry's blood. Don't worry though, we'll draft a project WR in the 4th Round who will never pan out.

Already did .....Mingo

Not sure Kupp gets the kind of money some here think. He’s had injury issues and his numbers have dropped each of the last three seasons. It’s been downhill since the 2021 season.

He played well against Philly in the playoffs but something seemed off with him. The Rams moved on from Cooper for a reason.

Dumb & Dumber already believe they have their #2 in Mingo. I very seriously doubt we see him signed by Dallas

 

[tm1119]

Kupp has crested the hill and is cruising towards the end of his career. Will be 32 before the season and hasn’t played more than 12 games in the past 3 seasons dealing with a multitude of injuries. IF healthy he’s an above average possession WR.

With all that said…yeah seems like a Jerry signing.

The reason they’re moving on is the injuries which have played a part in his declining numbers and the money he’s making. Plus Puka has overtaken him as the Rams number one receiver.

Who takes Tolbert spot? I think Tolbert is the starter in this scenario.

The Cowboys could draft a receiver in the 1st round and sign a veteran. Tet, Emeka Egbuka, and Golden could all be in play at 12 or a slight trade back.

 

[conner01]

Would be a great signing for many reasons but I’ll be shocked if Booger and Jethro made a reasonable offer.

I don’t think he’s what we need. Can’t stay healthy, speed is impirtant and he’s getting older. We need a bigger outside reciever to pair with lamb

Older players don’t usually get healthier.

 

[NorthTexan95]

Kupp and Lamb would be duplicating skill set. Add in his injuries and Kupp doesn’t seem like a good fit.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I'm not sure what it would take to sign him. If he is released, I'm all over it for a reasonable deal.

5th round pick

 

[Coogiguy03]

Kupp would actually be too fast for Daks slow arm. Ball over head, ball behind Wr, ball in the dirt, wr blasted via bad ball placement etc

Lol lol lol

I mean if he is okay with just living an existence of no real expectations. I mean it may be that at this point in his career that is what he wants.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Drafting a WR in the 1st round is a bad idea. Even after a trade down.

Unless they are signing a vet that can come in here and make an impact that would be a waste of FA money.

 

[gimmesix]

I'd give up a seventh to acquire him, simply because I know the Joneses won't sign a better No. 2 receiver in free agency. I'd rather bet on Kupp than Just A. Guy.

Dude! We have Jonathan Mingo... We're set!

Turns for ball and it’s 3 yards over his head……

New staff and this Head Coach knows points for focus. Leadership skills for working.
