Is this Cooper Kupp's last season with the Rams?

[WestCoastRam]

Everyone copies the new hot plays from each other in this league. So whatever anyone does everyone is doing to some extent.

But as far as attacking defenses is concerned there is so much copycat in this league that it largely comes down to players executing.

I get that this is true for a lot of teams but it's shocking how untrue it is for a few bottom feeders: NY Jets last two years, Chicago this year (before Thomas took over as playcaller but then again when he became HC), Dallas this year, Raiders this year (before Norv Turner came back and then it was the greatest hits from the 90s which sorta seemed novel since they weren't being used!)

By my estimation (and likely completely inaccurate assessment), if Rams were to convert 10 mill of Kupp's salary in to a bonus, and add 2 void years to his deal,
2.5 mill salary +2.5 new restructure + 2 signing proration + 2.3 prev restructure + 7.5 roster bonus, Total cap hit of 16.8 mill & it would reduce the Cap hit in '25 by about 13 mill
That would keep him in Horns for 2025 and re-assess after the season.

昔々、Kupp’s. 小さなネズミがいました。

そのネズミはとても小さいけれど、誰よりも勇気がありました。

ある日、Kupp ネズミは大きなライオンから村を守るために戦うことを決めました。

みんなは笑いながら言いました。

「小さなネズミがライオンに勝てるはずがないよ！」

しかし、ネズミは諦めず、ライオンの足を噛みました。

ライオンは驚いて逃げてしまいました。

それから、ネズミは村で勇気の象徴として尊敬されるようになりました。

おわり。

[I like Rams]

Kupp will stay. He has to know his production since our SB year hasn't matched his pay. We will restructure and still pay him what he deserves as a captain and leader of this team and we will win another SB next year and then he will be drinking Pina Colodas in retirement with AD.

And yes, I am Nostradamus.

 

[Ramstien]

If Kupp is willing to restructure down to 3 million for each of next two years I think he continues to be a Ram.

 

[Tumak61]

I think with Kupp the front office will do whatever it can to facilitate whatever decision Kupp makes regarding his future. He wants to continue playing and may feel he can contribute more on another team. No one knows what he's thinking, but it may be difficult for him to take on a lesser role in the Offense. He's been on a Super Bowl winning team so maybe there are things more important to him than the money or chasing another title. I wouldn't be shocked to see him on the Jaguars next season with Coen now the head coach there.

No matter what the Rams do with Kupp (release, trade, restructure or nothing at all), his 2025 cap hit will be much higher than $3M because he has already received money that has not yet hit the Rams' cap.

 

[DzRams]

If Kupp is willing to restructure down to 3 million for each of next two years I think he continues to be a Ram.

Between his 2025 salary and roster bonus, Kupp is set to be paid $20m. You think he'd be willing to take an 85% pay reduction?

I doubt the Rams would even feel good asking him to do that.

What about a 2yr $20mil deal to keep him here the next 2 years?

 

[DzRams]

It's just really rare for anyone to agree to take that type of pay cut.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Don't forget about the signing bonus Kupp received in 2022 but has not yet been applied to the Rams' cap because of the pro-ration-rule. That does not go away.

why are you shocked @ottoman89 ?

 

[ottoman89]

why are you shocked @ottoman89 ?

Because I forgot about that, and am curious if they rip the deal up if that goes away.

 

[Allen2McVay]

... curious if they rip the deal up if that goes away.

No.

Think about it. Any money that HAS BEEN PAID, will eventually HAVE TO HIT a team's salary cap.

 

[Ramhusker]

Kupp will retire a Ram after another season or two. Restructure will happen

Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Kupp's.

The mouse was very small, but he had more courage than anyone else.

One day, Kupp the mouse decided to fight to protect his village from a big lion.

Everyone laughed and said.

How can a little mouse beat a lion?

But the mouse did not give up and bit the lion's leg.

The lion was so surprised that he ran away.

From then on, the mouse became a respected symbol of courage in the village.

The end.

Hoping you are correct. But I have a bad feeling about this.
