Cooper Kupp Contract, Salary & Career NFL Earnings

After a dream season, the Super Bowl MVP inked a new deal with the champion Los Angeles Rams. Boardroom looks at the numbers.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp can claim his 2021-22 season as a true career year. Kupp led the NFL in receptions, yards, and touchdowns in the league’s first year with 17 regular season games as the main offensive weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay. He capped his surreal season by catching the go-ahead touchdown in the Super Bowl, earning him the game’s MVP trophy.

This offseason, Kupp and the Rams agreed on a three-year, $80.1 million extension slated to begin in 2024. The deal comes with $35,000,000 guaranteed at signing and $75,000,000 fully guaranteed over the life of the deal. Kupp also restructured his previous contract to tinker with the salary and allow for other bonuses beyond his base salary.
