Pittsburgh could still acquire All-Pro WR if Rams lose Week 9 matchup
Speculation has run rampant the past few days, as the Los Angeles Rams were reportedly making multiple calls to teams regarding interest in trading for their 31-year old All-Pro WR Cooper Kupp. The Pittsburgh Steelers, needy of additional talent at the wide receiver position, were one of the teams interested in acquiring his talents.
While Rams' HC Sean McVay seemingly put the trade rumors to bed, and confirmed Kupp would most likely remain in Los Angeles after their Week 8 win on Thursday Night Football, the team may be forced to sell if they lose their Week 9 matchup.
The Los Angeles Rams, currently 3-4 on the season, could make the decision to sell their season just two days before the trade deadline. On November 3rd, the Rams face their tough 4-3 NFC West rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, and a loss here in Week 9 could force the team to deal their aging and injury prone All-Pro wide receiver.
If the Los Angeles Rams drop to 3-5 on the season, and Pittsburgh wins their Week 8 matchup to improve to 6-2, could Steelers' GM Omar Khan make the Rams an offer they can't refuse for Kupp?
