The wide receiver sweepstakes for the Kansas City Chiefs aren\u2019t over just yet.<\/p>\n
Amid ongoing speculation that the Chiefs will add to their pass-catching corps this season, Kansas City was recently linked to a trade involving Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp, per Dianna Russini of\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>.<\/p>\n Kupp has missed four games this year after suffering a high ankle sprain on Sept. 15 but\u00a0is expected to make his return from injury on Thursday<\/a>, when the Rams take on the Minnesota Vikings. Depending on how the Rams\u2019 season plays out in the next few weeks, Kupp could become a highly sought-out receiver by the Chiefs as well as other wideout-needy teams.<\/p>\n Russini broke down the reigning Super Bowl champions\u2019 chances of landing the veteran wide receiver before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.<\/p>\n “If the Rams are willing to take on the salary I\u2019ve heard they\u2019re willing to do, they are definitely open to trading Cooper Kupp so we\u2019ll see if they\u2019ll be able to get a deal done,\u201d Russini said on\u00a0The Dan Le Batard Show<\/em>\u00a0on Tuesday. \u201cI just don\u2019t think Kansas City has enough money, even if the Rams were to take on some of that salary.”<\/p>\n “That\u2019s been the problem and the reason why they haven\u2019t been able to go after a Davante Adams, an Amari Cooper like we\u2019ve seen other teams be aggressive with.”<\/p>\n Could the Chiefs trade for Cooper Kupp?<\/p>\n “If the Rams are willing to take on the salary I’ve heard they’re willing to do, they are definitely open to trading Cooper Kupp so we’ll see if they’ll be able to get a deal done.” @DMRussini<\/a> on the upcoming trade deadline.<\/p>\n WATCH:\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/s8aSSl1Hld<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz (@LeBatardShow) October 22, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
