Cooper Kupp’s contract details: What’s his salary with the Rams and how many years are left?
After producing one of the best wide receiver seasons in NFL history, Cooper Kupp was rewarded with a big contract extension.
Cooper Kupp is undoubtedly among the best wide receivers in the NFL – and he is paid like one. The Los Angeles Rams and Kupp agreed on a three-year, $80 million contract extension in 2022 that ties him to the franchise for the next five years at $110 millioni, according to multiple reports.
Kupp put together one of the best seasons in league history in 2021, leading the NFL with 145 receptions for 1,945 yards and 16 touchdowns, earning Offensive Player of the Year honours in the process.
He capped the memorable season with eight catches for 92 yards and two scores, including the late game-winner, and was named MVP in the Rams’ Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in February.
Even with the new extension, Kupp will still trail the Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill, Las Vegas Raiders’ Davante Adams, Arizona Cardinals’ DeAndre Hopkins, Philadelphia Eagles’ A.J. Brown and Buffalo Bills’ Stefon Diggs in yearly value on receiver contracts.
Kupp was asked if he felt he needed to be the league’s highest-paid receiver after his stellar season. ‘’I don’t think that’s really kind of the approach that I take,’’ he said. ‘’I think there’s definitely a place where you want to be.
“There’s a place that I think you feel is fair, and a place both for me and this organization. I want to be there. I’m not trying to beat anybody. I’m not trying to compare myself to anyone else. It’s more of just being in a place that’s just right for both sides.’’
Kupp is not only one of the best pass catchers in the league, he is also a great blocker. It’s one of those skills that goes unnoticed to many fans, but his Rams’ coaches and teammates know how important he is to the squad and are thrilled to have him back after his injury in 2024.
