Bengals Should Trade for Elite Weapon Cooper Kupp Before Deadline
The Cincinnati Bengals should trade for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
James Rapien explains why he’s a perfect fit in Cincinnati with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. He discusses the money and compensation that would make sense for both sides! He says it’s similar to Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson joining forces with the Baltimore Ravens.

Makes sense. It would open up the field even more.
Big trade? Yes. For Kooper Cupp? No
I like it! Burrow needs to get the ball out faster than ever now with the OT injuries. Kupp will help this and 1 of the 3 WR will always be open.
This the same dude who said release Mixon to sign Zack Moss
Should be max crosby
Makes perfect sense to me to try to get Kupp. Make our offense more explosive and upgrade like the other AFC top teams are doing. We could use help in the slot.
I would love Max Crosby or a CB but if you can’t get that you can’t stay stagnant when the chiefs and ravens are getting stronger. Kupp would make our offense terrifying
Zac hardly knows how to use the weapons he has now. So give him more?? Nah if any trade is made they need it to be with a defensive of guy
We need a pass rusher. A corner or an offensive lineman. PERIOOOOOD
Maxx, Myles or Micah seems to me…….. like the way
you think James… worst thing we do is sit on our hands
and stay in the stone age…..
Kupp is not like Henry at all…
Kupp is getting $26.7M per year through 2026
Henry is getting UP TO $8M per year for 2 years… so up to $16M total through 2025
Henry helps their run game whereas Ravens had OBJ last year to help their pass game. See how improving their run game helps more and now Lamar looks more accurate passing
Trade for OL or DL. Trenches would strengthen the team way more
Burrow could win more if he dedicated himself to learning everyway he can to help the run. He could master better fakes and stop staring down the RB which helps the defense who read his eyes. He could Study & master fakes like what Rodgers did against the Steelers to get Conklin wide open for an easy TD
Why get kupp if we can’t afford tee
Myles Garret would help a lot more
Go get Max Crosby or Myles Garrett. We need help on defense or Micah Parson .💯…. Remember James that Burrow is so great; he has enough. Just stop with the five wide and shotgun offense 90% of the time🤔😑
They already have Iosivas, Burton, and Gesicki they barely ever even look at. Why add another WR?
Would Hunter Renfroe not fill the same role?
Nice idea, only thing is the Bengals Management would fold holding a full house lol
Hell no, we need to focus on defense.
i cashed my check today ,, i asked for 1 ;s 5;s & 10 's /// Who Dey.
You're crazy, James! We need some serious help in the secondary. Another pass rusher would be nice, too.
Max Crosby or nothing lol
Why cant we just pay higgins and tag jamar. Lets quit adding the roster with people that we dont pay
Yes please
I would be on board if it wasn't for the current state of our Oline…even if we were completely healthy on the Oline, I would prefer Max Crosby. I think it would make more sense.. considering our secondary..
Wishful thinking that the Bengals will do anything before the deadline. Idk why we even entertain the thought.
How about Myles Garret or Maxx Crosby. Another receiver James? No
I saw some wack article claiming the Bengals offered 5 draft picks two first and third rounds (25&26) and a fourth round in 25 for Myles Garrett
James you’re drunk buddy
Myles Garrett feels so right
Another D Tackle if possible. Cooper would work if Bengals make it work.We also need another Pass Rusher.What is wrong with Myles Murphy .Is he a Bust.Cleveland has players to trade also.When they lose to Baltimore everyone is trade bait.
Why not get some pass rush help or secondary help i dont think we need another wr the offense have done decent offensively but if this is tee replacement next year not bad but we need much more defensively
We already have Yoshi. We don’t need another WR. We need another star player on our Defense.
Duke better wake up and make a move.Anything to help this team.Cleveland is selling off players.Get a defensive player from the Browns for a late draft pick.Duke will not go after Cooper.James you know how the Bengals are.
Simmons from Tennessee is what we need and he is on l y 27 and his salary we could get under the Cap.But Duke wont move Bengals never try to improve the team.
We won’t have Tee much longer unfortunately
Ha! Bengals aren’t going to make any big moves. Keep dreaming high though
