Report: WR Cooper Kupp, Rams agree to five-year, $110 million contract extension
This offseason, several of the NFL's top wide receivers, including Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown, have earned lucrative contracts.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the next in line for a hefty payday.
Schefter reports that the Rams and Kupp have agreed to a five-year, $110 million, making the 30-year-old among the highest-paid pass-catchers in the NFL.
The 30-year-old was scheduled to make $14.8 million in 2023, part of a three-year $47.2 million deal signed with the Rams in 2020.
Kupp spoke about his contract status with The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue earlier this month.
"I try to help where I can," Kupp said. "I don't want to be in the dark on this thing. I also love this organization. I want to be here for a very long time, and to be doing things with these guys - not just the guys on the field, I want to be a part of this organization (in its) growth and the places I think this organization is going. And so I want this to be something that makes sense for everyone. I want them to feel good about it, and I think the best way to do that is for me to at least be involved in some capacity. It's never going to be at the cost of anything on the football field, (but) the more communication, the better, and (we'll) just be able to find a place (where) we can all feel good."
Kupp played all 17 games last season for the Rams, finishing with career highs in receptions (145), yards (1,947) and touchdowns (16) en route to earning Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Kupp was the MVP of Super Bowl LVI, hauling in eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
Selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Kupp has compiled 433 receptions for 5,517 yards and 40 touchdowns in five seasons with the Rams.
