Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp said Tuesday that he's not looking to reset a wide receiver market that has already exploded this offseason.
Kupp, who is coming off a season in which he was named Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Player of the Year, is signed through 2023 with salaries of 14.5 million in 2022 and $14.25 million next season. The Rams have expressed that they'd like to sign him to an extension.
But the receiver contract market has exploded this offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders' Davante Adams ($28.5 million per season) and the Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill ($30 million per season) each signing record-setting deals one week apart from each other. The Buffalo Bills' Stefon Diggs, Jacksonville Jaguars' Christian Kirk, Los Angeles Chargers' Mike Williams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Chris Godwin also signed lucrative contracts.
Kupp, 28, said he's excited to see the contracts signed by other wide receivers this offseason because the market at the receiver position had been "stale." But, when asked if he wants to top those deals, Kupp said that's not important to him.
