Much to the delight of their fans, the Los Angeles Rams struck deals with both Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp this week. It ensures that they’ll be in the mix for the next couple of years (at least) as the Rams try to win another championship with their Super Bowl window wide open.
As excited as the Rams are about extending their two biggest stars, the 49ers probably aren’t thrilled about the news – for multiple reasons.
Not only do the 49ers have to face Donald and Kupp twice a year for the next two-plus seasons, but the cost of signing two of their own cornerstones just went up. You may have heard that both Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa are candidates to sign extensions, and while things haven’t boiled over just yet, the 49ers would be wise to extend their deals sooner rather than later.
