This has been the offseason of wide receiver contracts, with many of the top players at the position getting massive raises. Cooper Kupp, of course, is among them, signing a three-year, $80.1 million extension with the Rams. He now gets $110 million over the next five years, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
It was a well-earned raise for Kupp, who won the receiving triple crown, Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP last season. But in terms of annual salary, he’s still only fourth at his position because of how many other receivers also got extensions – and bigger ones – this offseason.
Most recently, DK Metcalf agreed to a three-year, $72 million extension with the Seahawks. That will pay him $24 million per year, which is less than the average salary of Kupp’s new deal but still eclipses Kupp’s annual earnings across the five years left on his total contract.
