Los Angeles Rams to Trade Star Receiver Cooper Kupp to the Miami Dolphins
A blockbuster deal is in the works that would send three-time Pro Bowler Cooper Kupp from the Los Angeles Rams to the Miami Dolphins.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Rams and Dolphins are finalizing a trade that would send Kupp to Miami in exchange for a package of draft picks. The trade is expected to be completed before the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, November 1.
Kupp, 29, is one of the NFL's most dangerous receivers. He led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2021 and has been a key part of the Rams' success in recent years.
The Dolphins are in need of a receiver after trading away Tyreek Hill to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year. Kupp would give them a much-needed playmaker on offense.
The Rams, meanwhile, are looking to rebuild after a disappointing start to the season. Trading Kupp will free up some salary cap space and allow them to focus on developing their young players.
The trade is a win-win for both teams.
The Dolphins get a proven star receiver who can help them compete for a playoff spot. The Rams get a package of draft picks that they can use to rebuild their team.
Kupp is expected to sign a long-term contract extension with the Dolphins once the trade is complete.
Here are some of the details of the trade:
- The Rams will receive a first-round pick, a second-round pick, and a third-round pick from the Dolphins.
- The Dolphins will receive Cooper Kupp from the Rams.
- The trade is expected to be completed before the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, November 1.
