Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams agree to $110 million contract extension
Two days after awarding defensive lineman Aaron Donald a lucrative contract extension, the Los Angeles Rams handed out another long-term deal to another star.
Wide receiver Cooper Kupp and the Rams agreed to an extension that will pay him $110 million over the next five years, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed.
The deal places Kupp, 28, among the highest-paid receivers in the league, just 48 hours after Donald became the highest-paid defensive lineman in the game.
Last season, Kupp racked up 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns receiving, and took home offensive player of the year honors and was then named Super Bowl MVP.
