The Athletic reported Monday that Los Angeles is in talks with multiple teams about potentially trading Kupp, a Pro Bowl wide receiver and former Super Bowl MVP with the Rams.

The Rams, who have already made multiple calls to trade Kupp, want a second-round pick for the 31-year-old. In fact, Los Angeles is so interested in moving Kupp that they’re even willing to pay a portion of his 2024 salary to ensure a deal gets done.
