Around this time last year, it became clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers would be in the market for a WR. 

Diontae Johnson had worn out his welcome and he was on his way out. 

Yet here we are nearly a year later, and no acquisitions have been made via trade. 

Well, that could change with a WR the Steelers have shown interest in, set to hit the block…


Rams To Trade Cooper Kupp

I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships.

I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA. Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember.

I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us. 2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career.

Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys.. But coming for it all.

The Los Angeles aim to part ways with Kupp before his $7.5m roster bonus triggers on March 15th. Kupp is one of a handful of players to ever win the most illustrious award a WR can, which is to be named the NFL's triple crown winner. 

In 2021, Kupp led the league in receptions, yards and TDs from a receiving perspective, was named a first-team All-Pro, Pro Bowler, Offensive Player of the Year, and was crowned a Super Bowl Champion and Super Bowl MVP. 

Truly one of the best seasons any player can ever have, injuries have sidelined Kupp the past few seasons and the Rams obviously think his best days are over. 

But as recently as November, the Steelers didn't

"They've been calling around. They even called around like a month ago for the Rams trying to get a guy like Cooper Kupp," Glazer said on FOX NFL Kickoff prior to the NFL trade deadline in 2024. 

With no deadline until next November, and what is sure to be a much lower asking price, Kupp could be a real option in 2025.
