Rams Give WR Cooper Kupp 3-Year, $80 Million Extension

The Rams reload continues. After giving QB Matthew Stafford and DL Aaron Donald extensions this offseason, the Super Bowl LIV champs handed WR Cooper Kupp a 3-year, $80 million extension on Wednesday. That brings his total contract to five years and $110 million through 2027, and his $75 million guaranteed is the highest ever for an NFL receiver.

 

Most Guaranteed Money for WRs

Cooper Kupp (LAR): $75M

Tyreek Hill (MIA): $72.2M

Stefon Diggs (BUF): $70M

Davante Adams (LVR): $65.7M

 

Kupp’s Catch-Tacular Season

In 2021-22, Kupp had 145 grabs for nearly 2,000 yards and 16 touchdowns to become the fourth player in NFL history to lead the league in the receiving triple crown — receptions, yards and TDs. Now, he’s a Ram for the long haul.
