It sure sounds like the Los Angeles Rams are open to trading superstar wide receiver Cooper Kupp.<\/p>\n

The Rams, who famously touted the \u201cF Them Picks\u201d moniker, appear to be open for business, and one of the best wide receivers in the NFL could be moved ahead of November 5th\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini reports that the Rams have fielded several calls, and they\u2019d even be willing to take on Kupp\u2019s remaining salary if it meant receiving a second-round draft pick.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

Kupp has only started two games for the Rams this season due to a sprained ankle. However, according to several reports, he\u2019s ready to make his return to action on Thursday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, a team that is said to be interested in trading for his services.<\/p>\n

Here are a few other landing spots that could make sense:<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Chiefs remain the NFL\u2019s lone undefeated team, but despite that record, quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn\u2019t played to his standards so far this season, and the offense just doesn\u2019t look right.<\/p>\n

We all know the Chiefs are on this eternal conquest for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Does adding one of the best receivers in football show how serious they are about that?<\/p>\n

Kansas City lost wide receiver Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury<\/a>, and adding Kupp could signal to that entire offense that it\u2019s time to wake up.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Here\u2019s another team that will certainly be calling for Kupp\u2019s services. Remember, they were just involved in the Brandon Aiyuk trade conversations<\/a> a few short months ago before he ultimately decided to stay with the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

The Steelers are one of the NFL\u2019s biggest surprises this season at 5-2. Mike Tomlin knows how to create and harness a culture, regardless of who is starting at quarterback. Is there a receiver in the game that fits that culture quite like Kupp?<\/p>\n

If the Steelers want to get serious in the AFC playoff mix, adding Kupp is certainly a way to put the league on notice.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n

\n

On Monday Night Football, the Buccaneers lost both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle). Godwin\u2019s injury is season-ending, and he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers are the Steelers of the NFC, as they\u2019ve surprised some folks with their 4-2 start. At times, Baker Mayfield has looked the part of an MVP candidate. The Buccaneers have plenty of options to replace Godwin, but adding Kupp would keep them in the playoff mix in a very weak NFC South.<\/p>\n

Before you Google it. No. Kupp did not play in that magical December 2022 victory where Mayfield led the Rams to victory without even knowing the playbook.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
