The Los Angeles Rams have decided to trade Cooper Kupp this offseason, as the veteran wide receiver revealed on Monday.
The 31-year-old was shopped prior to the 2024 NFL trade deadline, but the Rams ultimately decided to hold onto him. Now, with a trade appearing imminent, his contract could complicate matters. Let’s break down his deal, 2025 salary, net worth, and career earnings.
Cooper Kupp’s Contract and Salary
Coming off winning Super Bowl MVP in 2022, Kupp signed a three-year contract extension worth $80.1 million. The deal included $35 million guaranteed at signing and $75 million in total guarantees, and it meant Kupp was under contract with Los Angeles through 2026.
In 2024, Kupp was in the first year of that contract since he still had two years remaining on his existing deal when he signed.
This season, Kupp’s cap hit was $29.78 million — the largest of any wide receiver in the NFL. In 2025, he’ll once again have a cap hit of $29.78 million. Then, it decreases slightly to $27.33 million in 2026.
The Rams would save $7.5 million in cap space if they cut him after this season and $19.9 million if they cut him before the start of the 2026 league year, but a trade is obviously way more likely.
Prior to the trade deadline, there were reports that the Rams were open to eating some of Kupp’s salary in order to facilitate a deal. Kupp could also agree to restructure his contract to lower his cap number after a trade.
How did Kupp get this monster extension? He had just helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI, recording eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns (including the game-winner) to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. That season, Kupp had a career year, catching 145 passes for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.
There are plenty of teams who could use a wide receiver like Kupp, but his contract certainly complicates a potential trade.
Kupp’s Net Worth and Career Earnings
Kupp’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $18 million.
However, throughout the course of his professional career, the star wide receiver has earned $93.6 million from his NFL contracts alone, so perhaps this estimate is a bit low.
This figure doesn’t even factor in Kupp’s various endorsement deals, including his partnerships with Nike, Snickers, Unify, Lexani, and Pataday.
Also, Kupp owns a $3.5 million home in Wilsonville, Oregon. The home is 5,700 square feet, and there’s a 4,600-square-foot training facility on the 4.09 acres of land. However, Kupp is reportedly looking to sell the house.
Kupp has thrived since entering the NFL as the No. 69 overall pick in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and he’s done extremely well for himself financially, too.
