Cooper Kupp Remains a Ram: Sean McVay's Strong Stance on Trade Rumors
Cooper Kupp's Role with the Los Angeles Rams
LOS ANGELES – Sean McVay doubled, then tripled down on his comments from Thursday night that the Rams weren’t expecting to trade star receiver Cooper Kupp. “That’s not a move that we want to make,” he said Friday morning. Kupp has been the subject of trade inquiries from other teams throughout October ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline.
Rams' Strategy Moving Forward
In both Thursday and Friday news conferences, McVay confirmed conversations about Kupp between the Rams and other teams took place but mentioned that the Rams are not proactively seeking out a trade. “He’s a Ram, and we expect it to stay that way,” McVay added.
Kupp's Performance and Impact
Kupp returned to the field in the match against the Vikings on Thursday night from an ankle injury suffered in Week 2, recording five catches for 51 yards and a touchdown. His presence also activates the Rams’ run game as a blocker and motion player. “I thought Cooper played really well last night,” McVay said. “He’s such a tough player, he’s such a great leader for us.”
