Kansas City Chiefs: Fans Go Crazy When NFL Insider Drops Shocking Potential Trade Candidate

At some point, the Kansas City Chiefs may need to trade for a wide receiver before the November 5 NFL Trade Deadline. Xavier Worthy for now will be the top wide receiver in the offense.

Kansas City Chiefs Fans Explode When NFL Network’s Peter Schrager Suggests That They Should Go After Los Angeles Rams Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp

On Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay ruled out wide receiver Cooper Kupp for the Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Kupp has not played since Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams will be on a bye week after this game. With the Rams 1-3 on the season, they may be sellers at the NFL trade deadline.

On Monday morning, NFL Network’s Peter Schrager mentioned on Good Morning Football that Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach should give the Los Angeles Rams a call about wide receiver Cooper Kupp. This is what fans had to say on Twitter about the Chiefs making a move for Kupp at the NFL trade deadline:

This season with the Los Angeles Rams, he has caught 18 passes for 147 yards receiving and one touchdown, along with averaging 8.2 yards per reception. Cooper Kupp going to the Kansas City Chiefs in a trade would be fascinating to see.

Contract Situation

According to Spotrac, the Rams could get out of his contract after this season. If they were not to get out of his contract after this season, he wouldn’t be a free agent until after the 2026 season.

Cooper Kupp is 31 years old and he is not getting any younger. The Rams getting something back for Kupp for nothing could be in play at the NFL trade deadline.
