In Doon’s situation, the Ravens commerce a fourth-round compensatory decide and a sixth-round decide to the Los Angeles Rams for extensive receiver Cooper Kupp.
“For Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to lastly break by means of and win the Super Bowl, it is time to get aggressive,” Doon wrote. “The salary-cap math is difficult, and the Ravens may consider that giving up two mid-round picks for a 31-year-old extensive receiver is just too costly, however it’s enjoyable to consider what Kupp would appear to be taking part in a secondary position in coordinator Todd Monken’s offense.
“Kupp is not a triple-crown menace, however he is nonetheless a productive receiver and relentless blocker who might thrive within the Ravens’ ecosystem. Baltimore reportedly wished to take him within the 2017 draft earlier than the Rams swooped in.”
Kupp has been slowed by accidents the previous three seasons after his profession 12 months in 2021, when he led the league in receptions (145), receiving yards (1,947), and landing catches (16) and was named Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP.
Doon famous that if the Rams are prepared to pay a big portion of Kupp’s remaining contract — $29.7 million and $27.3 million due in 2025 and 2026, respectively — the commerce would make sense for either side.
