Cooper Kupp on the Trade Block: What It Means for the NFL

Breaking News: Rams Looking to Trade Cooper Kupp
In a stunning turn of events, Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp has announced on social media that he is on the trading block. The news comes as one of the biggest developments in the NFL offseason, following closely behind Myles Garrett’s request to leave the Cleveland Browns. With Kupp’s availability, teams across the league are undoubtedly evaluating how he could fit into their roster.

A Possible Vikings Connection?
Kupp has a strong connection with Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, who was the offensive coordinator during Kupp’s legendary 2021 season. That year, Kupp led the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, earning the coveted “triple crown.” Other Vikings staff members, such as Wes Phillips and Chris O’Hara, were also part of the Rams’ Super Bowl-winning coaching team. With such a history, it’s tempting to imagine Kupp joining Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to form one of the most dynamic receiving trios in the league.

Does a Trade to the Vikings Make Sense?
While the idea of Kupp in purple and gold is intriguing, the reality is far less likely. Wide receiver is not a pressing need for Minnesota, with Jefferson under contract through 2028 and Addison developing into a strong WR2. Additionally, Jalen Nailor, who contributed six touchdowns last season, remains on the roster. Financially, the Vikings would struggle to absorb Kupp’s contract, which carries a $20 million price tag in both 2025 and 2026. Given Jefferson’s upcoming $35 million per year extension and Addison’s future contract considerations, acquiring Kupp seems impractical.

Financial Hurdles and Injury Concerns
Kupp is undeniably talented, but he has not been the same since his historic 2021 season. Over the past two years, injuries have limited him to a maximum of 12 games per season, with his receiving yardage failing to surpass 812. At 32 years old, Kupp is still a dangerous weapon when healthy, but he is no longer the elite separator he once was. If the Rams hope to secure a decent draft pick in exchange, they may need to absorb some of his contract. Otherwise, teams may hesitate to take on his salary given his recent injury history.

Would Kupp Take a Team-Friendly Deal?
If the Rams ultimately release Kupp, a reunion with O’Connell and the Vikings could be possible—but only if he’s willing to take a significant pay cut. However, that scenario seems unlikely. Kupp will likely seek a team where he can be a clear No. 2 receiver while maximizing his final years of earning potential. Minnesota simply doesn’t seem like the right fit.

Parallels to Myles Garrett’s Trade Rumors
Kupp’s situation mirrors that of Myles Garrett, who has also requested a trade from his current team. While Garrett is a dominant force in his prime, trading for him would require a massive contract extension, something the Vikings are unlikely to pursue. Both Kupp and Garrett are elite players, but with Minnesota’s limited draft capital and other pressing roster needs, neither move makes much sense.

What’s Next for the Vikings?
Minnesota will undoubtedly look to improve its roster with high-profile additions this offseason, but Cooper Kupp and Myles Garrett are unlikely to be among them. Instead, expect the Vikings to focus their resources on areas that need urgent upgrades, rather than spending big on positions where they already have strength.
