CINCINNATI — Cooper Kupp to the Bengals?
The star wide receiver announced everyone that the Rams plan on trading him this offseason.
Kupp has a history with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. Taylor coached him for two seasons in Los Angeles.
Obviously, Kupp was one of the best receivers in the game three years ago when he helped the Rams beat the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.
He's taken a step back, but has been effective when healthy.
The Bengals probably wouldn't trade for Kupp—who has two years left on his current contract. Any team that trades for the veteran would inherit his $20 million salary in 2025 and $19.85 million in 2026.
Now, if he gets released by the Rams, Cincinnati may eye the former Super Bowl MVP.
The 31-year-old had 67 catches for 710 yards and six touchdowns last season.
A Kupp-Taylor reunion is unlikely, but never say never—especially with the Rams poised to move on from the former Pro Bowler.
