Filed to ESPN: Jets trading QB Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers for a 2021 sixth-round pick and second- and fourth-round picks in 2022, per sources.

Sam Darnold will compete with Teddy Bridgewater in Carolina. There is plenty of fantasy-relevant talent on the Panthers' offense for either guy to throw to. Darnold's best season came in 2019 when he threw for 3,024 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions with a receiving corps consisting of Jamison Crowder, Robby Anderson and an over-the-hill Demaryius Thomas, though Adam Gase was running the offense. Darnold be reunited with Anderson in Carolina and D.J. Moore will be the best receiver that Darnold has thrown to since entering the NFL. We have seen Ryan Tannehill thrive after parting ways with Gase--is Darnold the next reclamation project?

#Jets GM Joe Douglas said he “will answer the call” when teams call about trading for Sam Darnold.

Several teams are reportedly interested in acquiring Sam Darnold via trade, while the Jets are expected to draft a QB with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Darnold is currently ranked dead-last in 4for4's never-too-early rankings.

The #Jets are planning to complete their evaluations of the top QBs in the NFL Draft before making any decisions on Sam Darnold, sources say. That includes Pro Days and interviews. While they’ve received real interest in Darnold, they want to get the full QB picture first.

Multiple teams have reached out to the New York Jets and inquired about trading for QB Sam Darnold, per league sources.

The Jets boast the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft which is very likely to go to a quarterback, so teams are looking to get a deal on Sam Darnold, who is only 23 years old. It will be interesting to see where he lands and if he can produce outside of that rough New York situation.

Rams Inactives

QB John Wolford

Rams HC Sean McVay said:
John Wolford has a “stinger, he'll be day-to-day”
Aaron Donald has a rib injury and “I don't expect that to affect his game status for this week.”
WR Cooper Kupp has bursitis of his knee and “the hope is to have him ready to go.”

Cooper Kupp is dealing with bursitis, which is inflammation or irritation of the sac near the knee joint. If Kupp can't go this week against Green Bay, Van Jefferson and Josh Reynolds should see an uptick in usage.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp will not play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

What was expected is now confirmed. Robert Woods, Josh Reynolds and Van Jefferson, will lead the receiver group Sunday.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp tested positive for COVID-19 and has been placed on the Reserve/COVID list. He will miss Week 17.

Kupp's placement on the COVID list is due to an actual positive test rather than close contact so he is already ruled out for the Rams' big Week 17 matchup with Arizona. The Rams will be missing Kupp, Jared Goff, and possibly their top two running backs against the Cardinals. Josh Reynolds and Robert Woods will try to pick up the slack in the Ram passing game.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been placed on the league’s COVID-19 reserve list.

Players are placed on COVID-19 reserve if they test positive or if they have close contact with someone who tested positive. It is unknown whether Kupp tested positive or is classified as a close contact. Kupp is the Rams’ leader this season with 92 catches and 974 yards. If he can’t be activated in time for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, that would be a major blow to the Rams’ hopes, the story went on to say. It could mean Reynolds and Jefferson see more snaps and action, but with Jared Goff out, the passing game is likely going to be limited for the Rams.
