The Rams, who famously promoted the nickname “F Them Picks”, appear to be open to trade, and one of the best wide receivers in the NFL could be moved before the November 5 trade deadline .
Diana Russini of The Athletic reports that the Rams have made several calls, and they would even be willing to take on Kupp’s remaining salary if it meant acquiring a second-round draft pick.
Kupp has started only two games for the Rams this season due to an ankle sprain. However, according to multiple reports, he is set to return to action on Thursday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, a team that is said to be interested in trading for his services.
Here are some other landing spots that might make sense:

We all know the Chiefs are on this eternal quest for their third consecutive Super Bowl win. Does adding one of the best receivers in football show how serious they are about it?

Remember, they were Brandon Aiyuk joins the business conversation right now Just a few months ago he ultimately decided to stay with the San Francisco 49ers.
The Steelers are one of the NFL’s biggest surprises this season at 5-2. Mike Tomlin knows how to build and harness culture, no matter who is starting at quarterback. Is there any receiver in the game who fits that culture like Kupp?
If the Steelers want to get serious in the AFC playoff mix, adding Kupp is certainly one way to get the league to take notice.

Godwin’s injury is season-ending, and he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
The Buccaneers are the Steelers of the NFC, as they have surprised some people with their 4-2 start. At times, Baker Mayfield has looked like 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.
Before you Google it. No, Kupp did not play in that magical victory in December 2022, where Mayfield led the Rams to victory without even knowing the playbook.
