    The Rams designated Kupp as a post-June 1 cut, which means they’ll get $15M in cap space this year when the calendar flips to June

    Dead cap charges of $14.78M in 2025 and $7.48M in 2026

    Does any of that change if another team signs kupp?

    And if Kupp signs with the 49ers can felony charges be filed?

    In terms of the money, no. He;s a June 1 cut so on June 1 the Rams subtract 15 M from the cap. Nothing alters, whether he signs with someone or not. That’s my understanding.

    If he signs with SF, according to an obscure clause in a contract with the Football Gods, that city will face a 3 consecutive days storm where minnows from the bay rain down on its streets.

    I know you guys have always hated Kupp, but I think he has enough integrity, to say nothing of personal pride, to steer clear of the 49ers.

    So I am trying to reconcile this:

    “Kupp is set to earn $20MM in 2025, made up of $12.5MM in base salary and a $7.5MM 90-man roster bonus due on March 17, per OverTheCap. $5MM of that roster bonus became fully guaranteed in 2024.”
    https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/02/rams-willing-to-eat-money-in-kupp-trade

    and

    “Kupp’s contract calls for him to receive a $7.5 million roster bonus on the 5th day of the league year. $5 million of that roster bonus is guaranteed and is subject to offsets. Kupp would certainly sign a contract that pays more than $5 million in 2025 and the Rams would get their full amount back.”

    The Costs of Trading Cooper Kupp

    As I read this, if Kupp signs a contract exceeding $5MM, the Rams get that money back?

    And beyond the cap, and the financial side of this, so disappointed it had to end this way for Kupp and the Rams. Set expectations too high after that super crazy year.

    Also, how different these Rams are going to look in 2027. These are the players that the Rams have today, who will still be under contract in 2027, with their 2027 cap number. We are certainly looking at a two year window, do or die with this team.
