We can get Cooper Kupp for a bag of donuts, because Rams want to trade him as a cap casualty.  He would be great patrolling the middle of the field and moving the chains and would be a great WR2 to Chase.

Kupp is older but cheaper than Tee ($20 million per year), but is not as good.  I realize that.  However, knowing Mike and Katie, I just don't think that it is feasible financially to keep Tee and Jamar.  We can use the money we save on Tee's extension, $30 million per year at least and apply toward Garrett's salary.  Plus, we have ample cap space available.  Draft another WR and DT and hopefully sign a couple guards in free agency.  

Just like that, the pass rush is fixed.  Super Bowl bound.  

I haven't been taking Meth today I promise. Lol.  But with all the trades going around, why not us?  We have to stop thinking 10 years down the road and think about our Super Bowl window or Joe will become another Carson.

Thoughts?

I was getting on here to start a Kupp thread.

I thought we should sign him when I first saw it but now I'm not sure.

He's the best possession receiver in the league and would kill it opposite of Chase, but he's only played 12 games the past two seasons and nine the year before that. Given our luck, I think we'd be resting our hopes on a prayer and it could waste our potential to get a receiver that we can count on to be out there.

If we could get him to sign for a team friendly deal, I'd potentially be interested and it would make sense for him because he'd get paid big this year and then he'd have a very good opportunity to win another ring(s) here, which is likely more important to him at this point in his career.

Like you said, Tee's not going to be worth the money he'll command, so go get Kupp and get ready for the Super Bowl.
