Cooper Kupp’s historic 2021 season has resulted in some more history for the Rams wide receiver. Kupp signed a three-year extension on Wednesday, a deal that’s worth $80 million. The contract includes $75 million guaranteed, a well-deserved payday for the Super Bowl MVP.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kupp’s $75 million guaranteed are the most ever for a wide receiver. It’s also the most guaranteed money in NFL history for an offensive player who isn’t a quarterback.
So while he may not be the highest-paid receiver, he got more guaranteed money than any wideout in the history of the NFL. That’s a pretty good deal for the former third-round pick out of Eastern Washington.
The $75 million guarantee given to Cooper Kupp now represents the highest guarantee ever given to an NFL wide receiver or non-QB offensive player.
