  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

As expected. No player who would get paid less than their current contract if they were a free agent is going to net you anything via trade.

If he wishes to remain in LA, maybe the chargers are an option.
 
Kupp made over $100 mill which is great for a 3rd round pick. $47 mill contract off rookie deal and then 2 years later earned $70 mill on the last contract. So, at this point in his career, what does he want?

Chance to win or make more money?

If he is now a west guy, his options are Chargers, Seahawks, Raiders, 49ers. Might be a fit with the Chargers, though McConkey would take up most of the shorter/intermediate routes.

Chargers could definitely use a veteran Wr and they’ve been very quiet

Chargers make sense. Thought they would be in on Adams. But, when evaluating WR have to consider what you have as well as you want your receivers to compliment each other. Main traits for a WR are either size, Speed, route running. Do kupp’s injuries limit his down field production? If so who on the chargers can stretch the field? QJ? Not sure on him. Mcconkey won’t. Can still sign him but will need a vertical threat who can play in 3WR sets and produce some.

Seattle’s WR brought 2/3 of those traits. Dk size and speed, Lockett speed and route running, JSN route running and some size, bigger than average height wise. So good compliments to each other.
 
Seattle needs another wideout to compliment JSN
I see Kupp remaining in the west. But not sure what part of his game will have fallen off. He was an excellent route runner. Average size in that he’s not a RZ jump ball guy or someone you just throw it up and let him wins 50/50 ball. Is he a vertical threat at this stage?

Each club requires in a 2WR set a couple of good route runners. But spacing matters. Raiders with Adams, Myers, Renfrow got crowded up as they all preferred the intermediate routes. No one could consistently stretch the field to free up room for the others.

Chargers make the most sense. Seattle would be a return home to his college city. But maybe he’ll surprise us and go east.
 
No surprise here.
What SEA needed. Veteran whose skilset is like JSN so he can learn from kupp. SEA does need to get a speed guy. Kupp, figured, he'd remain in the west. Grew up in WA state and went to school there. So, either return home or I would have thought Chargers made good sense and he won't need to move.
