The Rams have cultivated a trade market for veteran receiver Cooper Kupp. He will play tonight for the first time since Week 2, when he suffered an ankle injury.

So if they’re trying to trade Kupp, why are they playing him? If he gets hurt again tonight, the trading market will go up in flames.

Maybe the Rams are trying to prove to potential suitors that he’s healthy. Or maybe, if the Rams can win (and I think they will), they’ll decide to keep the band together for a chance to end the season in the playoffs.

If they lose tonight, it might be time to move Kupp. And possibly quarterback Matthew Stafford. And everyone who won’t be there in 2025.
