The Steelers should attempt to trade for Kupp
As has been the case for the last calendar year, the Pittsburgh Steelers need help at wide receiver. They did nothing to replenish the loss of Diontae Johnson last offseason, and did nothing with Mike Williams after acquiring him at the trade deadline. If they want to make it back to the playoffs and make any sort of noise next January, they can’t make that same mistake twice, and it just so happens an All-Pro receiver has become available.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp announced on X that the Rams informed him they will be seeking trade partners immediately for the star wideout – a move the Steelers should absolutely make.
Kupp has transitioned into a WR2 role with the Rams over the last two seasons as Puka Nacua has emerged as one of the top pass-catchers in the league. And while he may not be at the level he was in 2021 when he won the triple crown, leading the NFL in catches, yards, and touchdowns, he is still a productive target that would slide right into a starting role with the Steelers and compliment George Pickens very well.
He’ll be 32 when the season starts, so it wouldn’t take a premium draft pick to land the Super Bowl LVI MVP. The Steelers have three seventh-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sending one of those paired with a fifth-round pick would be a fair price on both ends to get the job done.
