Tampa Bay Buccaneers boss reveal blockbuster Cooper Kupp trade likely explanations.

According to recent speculations, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are linked to a blockbuster trade for Cooper Kupp, a great receiver. A leading NFL insider outlined the three reasons why a deal is highly likely to happen before the trade deadline on Wednesday.

The Buccaneers had one of the league’s top offenses going into Week 7 of the NFL season. All season long, the Tampa passing offense has caused problems for opposing teams, and Baker Mayfield has continued his career comeback in 2024. But after losing on Monday night, they might not be as strong anymore.

This past weekend, the Baltimore Ravens defeated Tampa 41-31. The Bucs sustained two serious injuries in the defeat. Chris Godwin, a veteran wide receiver, sustained a terrible ankle injury and will probably miss the remainder of the season. Mike Evans, the team’s primary pass catcher, may be out for weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Many are speculating that Tampa’s season would collapse in the upcoming games. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht is under a lot of pressure to make a risky trade to secure the wide receiver spot until Evans recovers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ trade for Cooper Kupp “makes sense,” according to Dianna Russini.

Following a 2-4 start to the season, the Los Angeles Rams have been connected to multiple deals in recent days. Cooper Kupp, a former Pro Bowl player, is also reportedly for sale. Additionally, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be a squad that ought to try to acquire the 31-year-old. Dianna Russini, an NFL insider for The Athletic, made a prediction on Wednesday that the Bucs will sign him and listed the three reasons why it makes sense for the team.

This makes sense for three reasons: The Buccaneers could either keep Kupp past this season or cut him to save $29.7 million, Russini wrote. (1) Chris Godwin is out for the season and a free agent next offseason. (2) Kupp fills the Godwin role, a role he is familiar with because [offensive coordinator] Liam Coen, with whom he worked for years in Los Angeles, crafted it based on Kupp.

Before the Nov. 5 trade deadline, the NFL insider speculated that it might take a second-round pick to entice the great receiver away from the Rams.

Since the Rams’ victory in the 2021 Super Bowl, Kupp has continuously struggled to maintain his health. He is still an impact player on the field, though. In a perfect world, Kupp and Evans together may be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ playoff-winning combination.
