Puka Nacua ‘hoping for the best’ after Cooper Kupp said Rams will try to trade him
The Los Angeles Rams’ star receiver, Cooper Kupp, dropped a bombshell earlier this week when he revealed that he had been put on the trade block by the team. It seems like a trade is inevitable, as Kupp himself mentioned that the Rams are looking to move him “immediately.”
Despite winning the Triple Crown for receiving in 2021 and being named Offensive Player of the Year, Kupp has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons, failing to play more than 12 games and not reaching the 1,000-yard mark in the past three years.
Drafted in the third round by the Rams in 2017, it’s hard to imagine Kupp playing for any other team. However, with the emergence of Puka Nacua, the Rams may be willing to part ways with Kupp. Nacua, the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year, expressed his admiration for Kupp and the impact he has had on his career.
Kupp took to social media to announce the news of his potential trade, expressing his disappointment but also his determination to continue competing at a high level wherever he lands. He thanked the LA community for their support and promised to come back stronger for the 2025 season.
As fans speculate about Kupp’s future, it’s clear that his departure would be a significant loss for the Rams. However, with his talent and work ethic, Kupp is sure to make a lasting impact wherever he goes next.
