Kupp missed multiple weeks for the Los Angeles Rams, but returned with a good showing on Sunday.
Many felt that this game could be a tryout for teams looking to trade for the superstar.
While there is no news that Kupp is being traded, he posted an interesting video to his social media.
In the video, Kupp is waving to fans after his first game back from injury.
This wave prompted many fans to think that Kupp was waving goodbye before being traded and they shared their theories in the comments.
“Basically just confirmed he’s setting traded,” one fan said.
“Coming to PITTSBURGH let’s go!!!” another fan said.
“UR GEETING TRADED????” a third fan said.
“COOPER PLEASE DONT LEAVE US IM BEGGING,” a fourth fan said.
“He’s going to the lions,” a fifth fan said.
Kupp has struggled with injuries over the last few years, but when he is on the field Kupp is one of the most dangerous receivers in the league.
He has 7,264 yards and 53 touchdowns in his eight-year career, and has arguably the greatest receiving season of all time.
In 2021 Kupp won the triple crown by leading the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He had 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.
The Rams have been in contact with teams about Kupp and are reportedly looking for a second round pick back, but NFL insider Adam Schefter isn’t sure if they will get that value.
“It seems like the Rams are at least open to listening to offers for Cooper Kupp,” Schefter said on Get Up.

“The problem is there aren’t that many teams in the league that can afford to pay what the Rams would ask in return and pay Cooper Kupp’s salary for an aging veteran at this time of the year.
“Cooper Kupp might have more value to the Rams than anybody else. There aren’t a lot of teams out there that need a player like that, that can afford a player like that, and make it happen.
“That’s the issue, although it could happen.”
It is also possible that the Rams don’t even trade Kupp, as they are still well in contention for the NFC West title.
They are only .5 games back from first place at 3-4 and just took down the Minnesota Vikings.
