With the NFL Draft drawing 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 this offseason. One of those difficult decisions centered around what the Los Angeles Rams would do with All-Pro wideout Cooper Kupp, who was been informed in February the team was looking to trade him despite his desire to stay.
The 31-year-old former Super Bowl MVP will now suit up for a new team, as the Rams officially released him on March 12 after being unable to find a trade partner and adding Davante Adams to their receiver room.
With all that in mind, BetCalifornia.com broke down the hypothetical odds on which NFL team Kupp will play for next season.

The Patriots lead our list of Kupp suitors at +450, speaking to the difficult nature of dealing star players in the NFL’s hard cap ecosystem, as the L.A. Chargers and Denver Broncos (+500 each) are also potentially in play to make a move for the star wideout before the draft.
The Mike Vrabel-led Pats desperately need a top tier target for promising QB Drake Maye, and Kupp would immediately become a face of the franchise that has struggled since losing Tom Brady in 2020.
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, as the steely veteran this past season boasted 710 yards on 67 catches and six touchdowns for the Rams.
