Another Rams star player just got paid this offseason. Cooper Kupp just received a contract extension with the Rams worth $80 million over 3 years. $75 million guaranteed and worth over $110 million over the 5 years on contract. After signing this contract, it puts Kupp at the top of the list for receivers for the most guaranteed money ever given.
Kupp earned his extension by leading the league with 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns during the regular season leading the league in all categories. Helped lead the Rams to a SuperBowl win with 2 touchdowns and sealed the Super Bowl along the way.

Cooper Kupp didn’t try to be compared to other top-paid receivers saying he just wanted something to work on together between him and the Rams organization.
“Something that’s great for the team, something that’s great for me and my family as well,” Kupp said. “That place exists, and it’s just getting there.”
This comes shortly after the Rams reworked Aaron Donald’s contract to make him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL. Other moves made by the Los Angeles Rams this offseason include extending Mathew Stafford and signing Bobby Wagner and bringing in Allen Robinson to add to WR depth.
Since the 1970 merger, Kupp is one of eight players with 5,500 receiving yards and 40 receiving touchdowns within his first five career seasons. The others are Mike Evans, A.J. Green, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and Jerry Rice.
