The Rams are readying to replace Cooper Kupp by signing Davante Adams
As has been speculated for a week, the Los Angeles Rams are signing receiver Davante Adams, according to Ian Rapoport. The contract is a two-year deal worth $46 million and $26 million of that money is guaranteed, according to Rapoport.
The deal is essentially the money that the Rams do not want to pay to Cooper Kupp, a receiver who the team is expected to release if they are unable to find a trade partner. It sure does not seem the Rams will find that trade partner, but at least they know who they want starting opposite of Puka Nacua in 2025.
Sources: Davante Adams to the #Rams. He gets a 2-year deal worth $46M with $26M guaranteed. He wanted to stay on the West Coast.

This news comes days after L.A. re-signed Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million contract.
So even though the Rams don’t want to keep Kupp for $20 million, they’ve been more than willing to spend a guaranteed $36 million on Atwell and Adams. Now we know why Matthew Stafford was okay with staying in L.A. for less money than he would have gotten from the Raiders and Giants.
