For the second time this week, the Los Angeles Rams handed out a sizable contract to one of their biggest stars. Just two days after signing Aaron Donald to a $95 million deal, they extended Cooper Kupp with a three-year contract worth $80 million.
Kupp now gets $110 million over the next five years, keeping him under contract through 2026. In new money, Kupp is making about $26.7 million per year, and he’s now the 11th wide receiver to earn more than $20 million annually; over five years, Kupp gets $22 million per year.
But how does the contract break down year by year? Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio got a look at the deal and shared the finer details of the three-year pact. According to Florio, Kupp gets $35 million fully guaranteed at signing, and another $20 million becomes fully guaranteed next March. His base salaries are $10 million, $15 million, $15 million, $12.5 million and $14.85 million in the next five years, and his signing bonus was $20 million.
