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

[CCBoy]

I like what this really presents. We need an interior CB now.

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.

My bet is still on Stefon Diggs signing with the team to play with his brother. He's coming off injury so his stock is down some. I don't know how much, though.

Why is anybody assuming that Kupp would even want to come here?

He's played for an organization that is serious about roster building to win a championship

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

you forgot to add 40 second roll out..

He’s 3 years removed from the triple crown. He’s going to want some dough.

Boy if they could get this guy with Cee Dee it could be good ,especially if the running game had some juice.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'd give up a seventh to acquire him

The problem with that is you have to eat his contract. That why no team has traded for him.

I am tempted to agree. But with the possibility of Diggs getting cut, signing Stefon would likely wait until that decision is made. By then, the Cowboys could already have added a WR.

That I agree

Everyone wants to be a Cowboy!!!!!!!!!

 

[AKATheRake]

Is he willing to pay Jerry and Spaulding to play? If not, I’d bet he ends up in KC or Detroit.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

Yeah he has a ring so might as well steal money.

 

[Bagman]

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.

We don't have a 4th Rd pick. But we do have a.......Mingo

 

[ChronicCowboy]

At this point it’s probably him or Cooks.

The idea of trading or cutting Diggs has never made sense to me. He has an injury guarantee for this year, so I believe his base salary for the year is already guaranteed until having to wait until the fifth day of the league year for it to be. Unless I'm misunderstanding something about the injury guarantee, I have trouble with the idea that we'd cut Diggs and gain nothing for it.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Kup is better than anyone else on the roster besides Lamb.

 

[john van brocklin]

he will want too much for cowboys to sign him.

BINGO !!!!!!

 

[gimmesix]

The problem with that is you have to eat his contract. That why no team has traded for him.

And that's why we won't trade for him ... and why we traded for Mingo instead.

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.

Averaged 5.5 catches for 59 yards last. Decent production. Not earth shattering. Two big questions if he is a guy you bring in.

How long can he maintain starter level production? Right now he might be a guy you added a year to late

Whats your plan for the 5 to 7 games he is likely to miss? 9, 12, and 12 games played the last 3 years

There are rumors we might cut or trade Diggs though
