Ravens Urged to Pursue Trade for Cooper Kupp

A star player who is likely to be traded is Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who announced on social media yesterday that the team informed him that it will be “seeking a trade immediately.”

Ravens Wire’s Glenn Erby urged the Ravens to make a play for Kupp.

“Baltimore should be first in line to call the Rams and gauge their asking price,” Erby wrote. “The Ravens have an excellent passing attack but only have Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman as experienced [wide receivers] under contract.

“John Harbaugh’s team could use an efficient assassin and should have an interest in trading for the record-breaking receiver after he announced that the Rams were looking to trade him this offseason.”

CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo also believes the Ravens would be a good fit for Kupp.

“Kupp would join a loaded Ravens offense that also includes league MVP Lamar Jackson, fellow wideouts Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews,” DeArdo wrote.

Kupp, 31, led the league in receptions (145), yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16) in 2021 and was the Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP, but ankle and hamstring injuries have limited him to 33 games over the past three seasons. He had 67 catches for 710 yards and six touchdowns last year.

Trading for him could be costly financially.
