Robert Griffin III Knows the Perfect Trade Destination for Cooper Kupp

Cooper Kupp announced on Monday that the Los Angeles Rams are shopping him on the trade market. Although he does not agree with the organization's decision, he did claim that the front office is going to work with him in finding a favorable destination.

At 31 years of age, Kupp is a veteran wideout who brings plenty of experience to the table. Since being drafted by the Rams in 2017, he's recorded 634 receptions, 7,776 receiving yards, and 58 total touchdowns. He's also won a Super Bowl, earned Super Bowl MVP, and was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2021.

Despite that success, the Rams have placed him on the trade block. It's unknown which team will pull the trigger to trade for the veteran wideout. However, former Heisman-winning quarterback, Robert Griffin III, has an idea.

Griffin hopped on social media and declared the Washington Commanders should make a move for Kupp. The former NFL quarterback believes that Kupp would make a fantastic second option for Jayden Daniels to further his development while Terry McLaurin continues dominating on the outside as the No. 1 target.

The Washington Commanders should trade for Cooper Kupp. Owns the middle of the field. Moves the chains. Quarterbacks’ best friend. Perfect for Jayden Daniels going into year 2 with Scary Terry’s Speed on the outside.

Finding another efficient wideout for Daniels might be at the top of the priority list for the Commanders. The rookie quarterback took the league by storm after finishing the season with 3,568 passing yards, 891 rushing yards, 31 total touchdowns, and nine interceptions while throwing an impressive 69.0% completion percentage.

Daniels is in the mix to win the Rookie of the Year Award for his efforts despite having a lack of fire-power around him. With the rookie furthering his development, it would be wise for the Commanders to find veteran help to improve the roster around Daniels.

Kupp and the Rams will likely be involved in several trade rumors until a deal is reached. The trading window for the 2025 season opens on March 12 at 4 p.m. EST. However, teams are welcome to negotiate and agree to trades before then. Deals just won't be official until that time and date.
