And to pretend they were never trying to do it. And to call out those who were reporting that they were trying to do the thing they were trying to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s what I\u2019ll tell you: Teams reached out,\u201d coach Sean McVay said after the 30-20 upset of the Vikings. \u201cSome of the things I\u2019ve seen out there \u2014 <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/sean-mcvay-im-glad-cooper-kupp-is-back-with-us-and-i-expect-it-to-stay-that-way\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they\u2019re just not true<\/a><\/span>. We\u2019ve addressed that with those individuals. Teams have called about him and we let him know what the dialogue was there. And then there\u2019s a lot of stuff out there where there\u2019s not a lot of accountability to the reports. And that\u2019s unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the Rams addressed any of the reports about the Rams actually calling teams about trading for Kupp, we\u2019ve yet to see any retractions. We doubt that we will.<\/p>\n<p>Again, any team that is trying to trade for a player has no reason to say that multiple teams are talking to the team for which the player plays. Reports like that can only make it harder to close the deal, because other teams will come to the table and compete for the player.<\/p>\n<p>Remember when the Rams were trying to trade for Matthew Stafford? The Rams didn\u2019t say squat. The Lions didn\u2019t say squat. If anyone had, other teams would have tried to get in the chase for Stafford \u2014 and the price would have gone up.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that McVay doesn\u2019t know the truth about the Kupp talks. As one source with knowledge of the dynamics of trade talks and reporting on trade talks works said about the Kupp reports, \u201cThis has all the markings of a [Les] Snead\/[Kevin] Demoff production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Look, we understand why the Rams would change their mind about trading Kupp. And we understand why they want Kupp to not think they were going to dump him and his salary without a second thought. But there\u2019s no need to call people out for reports that are \u201cjust not true\u201d and to pontificate about a perceived lack of \u201caccountability\u201d when there\u2019s nothing for which to be accountable.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason to doubt the accuracy of the reporting about the Rams calling teams about trading for Kupp, or about the Rams being willing to pay some of Kupp\u2019s salary. None. And in a credibility fight between people who make their living covering the NFL and the Rams, we won\u2019t pick a winner.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll just ask St. Louis.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '206053216266379',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/rams-try-to-put-cooper-kupp-toothpaste-back-in-tube\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before the Rams won two games in five days to move into a three-way tie for second place in the NFC West, they were trying to trade aging and expensive &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=118449\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=118449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118449\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=118449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=118449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=118449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
