Cooper Kupp Speaks On Contract Negotiations Ahead Of Season

It seems like the Los Angeles Rams are signing everyone and their mothers nowadays, which begs the question: will they have enough money to keep star receiver Cooper Kupp around.

According to Spotrac, Kupp has a potential out following this season. And after setting a bunch of records last season, he’s likely looking to make a whole bunch of money in the form of a hefty contract extension.

But when asked if he’s trying to become the highest paid receiver in the NFL, Cooper Kupp didn’t seem all too worried about it.

While the Rams made a flurry of moves this offseason, they’re likely going to need to address the Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald situations sooner rather than later.

I’d expect both to get massive contracts come next offseason.
