The Rams are releasing WR Cooper Kupp, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Los Angeles spent the past month trying to trade Kupp but found no takers at the asking price. That's not a surprise considering:

1. Kupp faded down the stretch last year, totaling just 10 catches for 143 scoreless yards over his final five games (including playoffs).
2. He was owed $29.7 million this year.

The Rams and QB Matthew Stafford have agreed to a restructured contract that will keep Stafford with the team at least through 2025, according to multiple reports. Stafford had reportedly drawn serious interest from the Raiders and Giants as a trade option.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp announced Monday that the team has informed him it's trying to trade him. Kupp added that he doesn't want to be traded, but it sounds like L.A. is set to unload the WR's contract.

Rams QB Matt Stafford, RB Kyren Williams, and WRs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp won't play against the Seahawks this weekend, HC Sean McVay said Friday. A loss could drop Los Angeles from the No. 3 seed to the No. 4, but McVay will give his key contributors the week off anyway. QB Jimmy Garoppolo will get the start, and RB Blake Corum figures to handle most of the backfield work. Stay away from the WR corps in fantasy lineups.
