This. You maybe can't find 27 year old Cooper Kupp in round two but you sure as hell can and probably will find at least 31 year old Cooper Kupp in round two. On the super cheap for 3-4 years.

Was this the play Elliott was celebrating 20 yards down field and the Steelers defensive personnel had trouble getting on the field?

Christian Kirk is the only receiver worth trading anything for at this point. Kupp not worth a #2. We’re not going deep in the playoffs this year but if we play our cards right, we use 1 or 2 on the complement to Pickens…
Looks like the Chiefs are finalizing a deal for Hopkins.
I'll never understand this. We piss and moan incessantly about the Steelers not winning anything in so long. But then we don't want them to make a move that could possibly help them in the here and now. To say the Steelers aren't winning anything this year after only Week 7, idk. There is so much football to be played. We have no idea what teams will look like, including the Steelers, by December. I think you have to take the shot. I don't give a shiit right now about 2025 or beyond.
To be clear, if they don't trade for Kupp, I'm fine with that.
I just kind of laugh. I live in PA Dutch country. We as fans sometimes are like the old Dutchies. They biitch about all the work they gotta do. They biitch about the fact that they don't get help to do the work. Then, when they do get help, they biitch about the way they get helped.

THIS, our 2nd rnd pick is more valuable to long term than what Krupp brings while adding in his injury history.
DK Daily Shot is all in favor of getting him, so there is support for having him here.
I know we need a 2WR, but the cost of contract and draft capital seems a bit high. I’d definitely look hard if that was a conditional 4th to 3rd.
Salute the nation
Worth is subjective. For me-if it were just a second and nothing else. Pass. However, now that DHop has gone for a 5th, and Davonte went for a 3rd. The Rams are willing to eat some of Kupp’s contract. What that pertains who knows. The willingness to eat some contract makes it more inticing. He is a guy of great work ethic and character and just commands attention be defenses on the field. He makes a difference in the pass game. If he helps your offense get to a championship this year, the trade is worth it.
I agree with that, with a caveat. Again, we all gripe about them not winning anything for years. What if Kupp really helps them to do that this year? To me it's worth the shot. Worry about next year and beyond later. They will adjust to losing a draft pick. It won't kill them.
This team has been stuck in the middle forever by stuffing salary down the road. Making deals to be good enough. If I honestly thought Cooper Kupp gets you there now. Sure. I'm not trading a stud receiver pick next year to win one playoff game. I'm just not.
That's fair, but also very speculative. Draft picks, you never know. The WR they picked this year can't get on the field. Also, only being 7 weeks in, we don't know what teams will look like by week 14 or whatever. Right now you may think they don't have a chance at a SB, but who knows? With some of their best players getting older, I think you have to risk it.
I dont want cooper kupp for a #2. maybe a 4 or 5..
Intelligent post. I'd be comfortable at anything less then 2. All it takes is a two week Russ injury and they are bleeding a 4. Look at what they have got in second last few years.
If the rams would take a lowball 4 for Kupp, id call the Bears and see if they would amend the conditional 4th for fields to a absolute fifth and seventh... since its hit or miss that they would ever see that fourth anyway... and a fifth and seventh is far better than a sixth

And coming off injury
Today or yesterday they just opened his 21 day window to return from IR
Not sure he’s actually healthy yet
Thielen would need to be really cheap, like conditional 7th rounder cheap to be worth even trying.
Would rather flip the Panthers a 7th for Mingo who they’re also rumored to be shopping
KC got Hopkins for a 5th which could turn into a 4th and Tenn is paying 2.5 million out of 8 owed to Hopkins. Seems like a good deal for KC to me. I am not sure about Kupp he has been banged up alot and I certainly would not give up a 2nd. I think a 5th would be fair though depending on salary. I think we will hold firm at this point for better or worse. If Russel continues to play well I would not be surprised if the steelers made an attempt at signing him. I am just not sure what kinda salary he would be looking at. If its somewhere in the 20-30 mil range maybe, but I dont see us giving him 40-50 mil / year.
This^ Does LA honestly think they can get a 2nd round pick for him when recent trades for comparable, if not better WR's, were had for less?
Omar is smarter than this.
