Perry: Why Cooper Kupp is intriguing trade target for Patriots

Star wide receivers have been on the move over the last couple of weeks with the NFL trade deadline approaching. Should the New England Patriots get in on the action?

If they do look to add a No. 1 wideout ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline, one intriguing option is Los Angeles Rams veteran Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old has recently been the subject of trade rumors and would immediately slot in as New England's top option in the passing game.

The downside? Kupp has been hampered by injuries since his 2021 All-Pro campaign. It would be risky - especially for the rebuilding Patriots - to part ways with premium draft picks for a receiver who has trouble staying on the field.
