Several years removed from his career-best 1,947-yard, 16-touchdown campaign in 2021, Kupp currently has 18 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown through two games. As a widely-beloved fan favorite and a member of Sean McVay’s first draft class, Kupp being dealt before the NFL trade deadline admittedly feels like a long shot.

The Rams and the the Chiefs discussed Cooper Kupp, but the Super Bowl champs needed to trade with a team that was willing to take on a large chunk of the salary and didn’t want to give up high picks. Tennessee is the team willing to play ball.

The Kansas City Chiefs have found the star receiver they’ve been looking for, but it’s not Cooper Kupp. While some believed the Chiefs would be a perfect suitor for Kupp after reports surfaced of the Rams shopping him, they went in a different direction by acquiring DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday morning.
