Hoping you are correct. But I have a bad feeling about this.
I think Kupp will look much better next season after another offseason of recovery. Still believe he's a capable 1000 yard receiver.

McVay needs to work with Stafford on spreading the ball around. He has a tendency to lock onto Nacua, and that didn't really stop until the last couple games of the season.

I think involving the TE more could be key to revamping the pass attack next year.

How realistic is a trade?
Kupp has a guaranteed roster bonus 7.5 mill
Salary (non guaranteed) 12.5 mill
Kupp has a dead cap hit of 9.8 mill if he stays a Ram in 2025
Kupp has 17.3 dead money due if cut or traded (prior to June 1)

So a team trades for him and agrees to take on the roster bonus and salary, the Rams take a hit of 17.3 mill instead of the full 29.8. Sounds great but who wants to pay him 20 mill?? I cant imagine many, and likely for nothing more than a late round pick swap
Or
Rams eat the 7.5 bonus + the 17.3 dead cap, 24.8 hit and a team "only" pays him 12.5 mill for 2025 (non guaranteed salary/bonus in 2026)
For that I could see a team coughing up a 4th rounder
