The 2021 AP offensive player of the year will be under contract with the Rams till 2026. His three year contract extension is worth up to $80 Million.
The 28-year-old is delighted with the offer and says, “The Los Angeles Rams made a childhood vision a reality when they showed their belief in me on draft day and today they showed continued faith. For that, I want to thank the Kroenke family, the front office, and coach [Sean] McVay,” Kupp said, in part, in a statement. “To every single Rams fan: I’m grateful for our first five years together and even more excited by our future. LG!!”
Cooper owes $14.8 million in 2022 and $14.6 million in 2023 under his prior contract, but after a season to remember, he’ll be earning a sizable amount after that. Kupp’s yearly salary of $26.7 million from 2024 to 2026 would rank him fourth among wide receivers in terms of annual salary.
Cooper Kupp has earned a raise that places him among the NFL’s elite, where he undeniably belongs, after winning the triple crown, the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and the Super Bowl MVP.
