With the NFL trade deadline drawer closer by the day, it’s high time for teams across the league to assess where they’re at as a franchise and make tough decisions about who will stay and who will go before Nov. 5.
One of those difficult decisions centers around what the Los Angeles Rams will do with All-Pro wideout Cooper Kupp, who has two years left on the $80.1 million deal he signed in 2022.
According to multiple media reports this week, Kupp is open to being dealt by the franchise that took him with the 69th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, meaning the 31-year-old could suit up for a new team sooner rather than later.
With all that in mind, BetCalifornia.com broke down the hypothetical odds on which NFL team Cupp will play for after the league’s Nov. 5 deadline comes and goes, with the Rams still in the driver’s seat to keep the veteran right now.

Given his significant salary and worldly talents, there’s no real rush for the Rams to deal Kupp, which is why we still have L.A. as the top team to have Kupp in their lineup through 2024.
The Rams lead our list of Kupp suitors at -155, speaking to the difficult nature of dealing star players in the NFL’s hard cap ecosystem, though outsiders like the Pittsburgh Steelers (+1100), Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders (+1500 each) are potentially in play to make a move for the star wideout before the deadline.
Whichever team ultimately gets Kupp is receiving a player that’s capable of starring the way that the Rams wideout did when he hauled in 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns during the team’s Super Bowl run during the 2021-22 league year.
With an approximate value of 64 in 94 career games, it’s easy to see why teams would be willing to give up a lot to get their hands on Kupp, even though the steely veteran has played a bit role this season, with 147 yards on 18 catches and one touchdown for the Rams in 2024.
