Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp He was the subject of trade rumors. This made more sense when the Rams were 2-4 and sitting in the basement of the NFC West. But after upsetting the Minnesota Vikings on the road on Thursday Night Football, it seems more likely that the Rams will try to advance in the division and playoffs with a soft second half schedule and a healthy team.

This could open up the star wide receiver trade option for the Pittsburgh Steelers. If so, Pittsburgh will need to look at players like: Darius Slayton and Mike Williams is tougher.

“I’m really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us, and I expect it to stay that way,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said after the win.

The Rams wanted at least a second-round pick to move Kupp. Although they are still flirting with the idea of ​​trading Kupp, they now have no reason to back away from their original price tag. Kupp, 31, missed four games with a high ankle sprain, but looked solid in his return and helped the Rams get a win over the Vikings.
