Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp could be on the trading block during the 2025 offseason. The veteran playmaker did not have a strong end of the season and wasn't involved much in the passing game. He caught just 10 passes over his final five games, including the playoffs.
As a result, it might make sense for the Rams to move him this offseason. Los Angeles would also save $12.5 million if it traded Kupp before the June 1 deadline, according to Over the Cap.
So, where could Kupp get traded to this offseason? Let's dive into five potential landing spots for the former Super Bowl MVP.

Pittsburgh Steelers
It remains to be seen who the Steelers quarterback will be next season since both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are free agents. Either way, though, the Steelers could use another wide receiver in this offense.

“That's out of my control. And we will see what it's going to be….So yeah, obviously would love to be in L.A., but I don't know what that's going to look like.”

Aside from George Pickens, Pittsburgh doesn't have another go-to wide receiver on offense. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III operated as the team's WR2 and WR3 this past season, and neither made an impact on the field. Therefore, acquiring Kupp this offseason could help this offense next year.
New England Patriots
There's no better way to help your young quarterback develop than by acquiring a veteran wide receiver. With Drake Maye entering his second season in 2025, New England's top priority this offseason should be to surround Maye with talent on the outside.
This past season, Maye threw passes to DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and Kendrick Bourne. As a result, the Patriots could be in the hunt for a wide receiver this offseason. Kupp would be the perfect addition to this New England offense. He's an experienced wideout who can be a security blanket for the young quarterback in the passing game.
Washington Commanders
The Commanders are coming off their best season in more than 30 years after Jayden Daniels led them to the NFC Championship Game. So, expect Washington to make certain moves this offseason to get it over the top. That could include trading for a wide receiver like Kupp in the coming months.
The Commanders could surely use another wide receiver in this offense, as Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus were the team's WR2 and WR3 in the playoffs. Although both players had some good games down the stretch, adding a wideout like Kupp could help Daniels grow even more.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos could be in the market for a veteran wide receiver this offseason, and Kupp could be atop their list. After a successful rookie campaign for Bo Nix, look for Denver to continue to add weapons for him in the passing game.
Nix and Sutton formed a strong connection from the get-go this past season, but none of the other wideouts in this offense stepped up. Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin never established themselves as that strong WR2 option. Therefore, adding Kupp to this offense could make a lot of sense. His presence would surely help the young quarterback's development.
Buffalo Bills
After failing to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs again, it'll be interesting to see what the Bills do this offseason to try and get over the hump. It could include trading for Kupp. Buffalo could use him in this offense, and he would fit well with Josh Allen.

Now, this might be a long shot, considering both Khalil Shakir and Kupp play out of the slot. Buffalo will also enter the offseason with negative cap space. So, this might not even be a move that the Bills would be willing to make. Nevertheless, the team needs another wideout in this offense, and the veteran playmaker fits the bill.
