Cooper Kupp will play Thursday, but will it be his last game with the Rams?
LA TimesCooper Kupp will be in the Rams lineup Thursday. The Rams’ poor start and Kupp’s large contract has the league buzzing that the Rams might move the 2021 NFL offensive player of the year. Kupp said he was aware of speculation but would “be where my feet are.” “That’s all I know,” he said after a jog-through. “I know that’s where he stays too,” Stafford said of Kupp, “so don’t worry too much about that stuff.” In the social media age, the speculation is easier on players than family members, Stafford said. “They’re spending all day on their phone looking at that stuff,” he said, “We’re spending all day looking at film trying to get ready for an opponent.” Each season, as the trade deadline approaches, Rams general manager Les Snead makes and routinely fields calls about star players.
