As one AFC exec said, the Patriots would be “foolish” not to entertain a deal, given their receiver situation. Kupp might not be the receiver he once was, but he could be a viable option for the Patriots. He would give quarterback Drake Maye a playmaker and a veteran standout at a position full of youth.

Ignoring their suitability as a potential trade partner for former Super Bowl MVP and NFL Triple Crown winner, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, would be a “foolish” decision by the New England Patriots.

The Los Angeles Rams plan on trading Cooper Kupp, the wide receiver posted on social media Monday. Kupp, the MVP when the Rams won Super Bowl LVI, said he hoped to remain a Ram for his entire career. That won’t happen now as he is no longer in the team’s plans.
