3 Realistic Trade Targets for the Chiefs at 2024 Deadline

2. Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams

It's kind of crazy to think that Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp could be on the trade block, but there are a lot of rumors and reports suggesting that he's very much available as we are just a couple of weeks away from the NFL trade deadline on November 5.

Kupp has obviously been an integral part of the success the Los Angeles Rams have had in recent years. He's been their biggest threat in the passing game dating back to their Super Bowl victory in the 2021 season, and seeing him anywhere but Los Angeles playing for anyone but Sean McVay would be wild.

But with both Amari Cooper and Davante Adams already being traded during the season, it seems like it's bordering on being "en vogue" to move on from big-name receivers these days.

The Rams haven't seen Cooper Kupp out there all that much this season, but he's expected to be back on the field very soon. If and when Kupp and Puka Nacua are both healthy and available for the Rams, they might prefer to move forward with Nacua as the featured player in their passing attack and supplement around him while also having the benefit of the draft compensation from a Cooper Kupp trade.

The Rams are asking for a 2nd-round pick in the Kupp deal, and if they are willing to take on a hefty chunk of his salary, a team like the Chiefs might realistically be able to get involved. And that's a key element here as the Chiefs are not flush with salary cap space at the moment.

But adding a player like Kupp to this offense, someone who excels at getting open quickly and creating yardage after the catch, would be a dream come true for the Chiefs.
