Another star receiver not named DK Metcalf gets contract extension

Bad news: It’s not DK Metcalf.
Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp has joined teammate Aaron Donald in securing the bag from the Los Angeles Rams front office. It’s a three-year extension with $75 million guaranteed (and a total of $80 million as part of the deal), making it the largest guarantee for a wide receiver in NFL history.
But hey! These big paydays and extensions come at a cost. Travin Howard, who made the game-winning interception to send the Rams to the Super Bowl, was released as part of this monumental deal for Kupp.
