“Nothing close to things that are happening in the real world,” Kupp said, “but it is an opportunity for us to draw closer together and say ‘let’s be able to respond from a little bit of hardship here and go out there and do something special.’”

After being eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp spoke about his future with the franchise.

Kupp, 31, is going into the second year of a three-year, $80.1 million contract. The Rams can try to lower his $29.7 million cap hit in 2025 with an extension. A trade or post-June 1 cut are the only ways they can move on without incurring more dead money than they would save.
