The Los Angeles Rams parted ways with their Super Bowl hero Cooper Kupp last offseason. The veteran receiver had an impressive eight-year career with the Rams and is now playing for the Seattle Seahawks. Let’s break down his deal, salary, net worth, and career earnings.
Cooper Kupp’s Contract and Salary
Kupp had a cap hit of $29.78 million in 2025, and the Rams released him because of that, in addition to his declining production. He signed a three-year deal worth $45 million with the Seahawks, with $17.5 million guaranteed and a $12 million signing bonus.
Kupp has a base salary of nearly $5 million in the 2025 NFL season while carrying a cap hit of $9.3 million and a dead cap value of $17.5 million. He will earn a base salary of nearly $13 million each in 2026 and 2027.
Kupp was earlier on a three-year contract extension worth $80.1 million with the Rams. He was handed the lucrative extension after leading them to the  Super Bowl LVI win, where he recorded eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns (including the game-winner) to earn MVP honors. That season, Kupp had a career year, catching 145 passes for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.
However, his production dropped over the following three years, and he failed to reach 900 yards in any of those seasons. Last season, Kupp tallied 710 yards and six touchdowns on 67 receptions.

Kupp’s production didn’t increase with the Seahawks, as in 16 regular-season games, he had 47 receptions for 593 yards and two touchdowns. However, he helped in the emergence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the veteran receiver hasn’t been required to play as he did for the Rams.
According to PFSN’s WR Impact Metric, Kupp is ranked as the 57th best receiver in the league, while Smith-Njigba is ranked as the second best.
Kupp’s Net Worth and Career Earnings
Kupp’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $18 million by Celebrity Net Worth. However, throughout his professional career, the star wide receiver has earned $93.6 million from his NFL contracts alone, so this estimate may be a bit low.
This figure doesn’t even account for Kupp’s various endorsement deals, including 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. He signed a four-year, $3.83 million rookie contract upon being drafted and later earned a three-year, $48 million contract extension with the Rams in 2020. While he didn’t receive all of the $80.1 million extension he signed in 2022, Kupp still received $20 million.

Notes on the game:
- The Rams are seeking their sixth Super Bowl appearance, while the Seahawks are a win away from their fourth.
- The Rams under Sean McVay are 6-1 in the playoffs against teams they played in the regular season. The only loss was last season to the Eagles, who also beat the Rams earlier in the season. Four of the six wins came against a team that defeated Los Angeles in the regular season.
- Sean McVay’s ten playoff wins are tied with Don Shula for the most by any coach in NFL history under 45. McVay, 39, has taken the Rams to the postseason seven times in nine years.
- Rams cornerback Cobie Durant has four career postseason interceptions, tying him with Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell for the most by any active player. Both Durant and Mitchell have played in five playoff games. For context, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, and Charlie Waters hold the all-time postseason record with nine interceptions each.
- Sam Darnold’s team has 28 wins in the last two seasons when he’s started. That’s tied with Tom Brady for most wins by a quarterback in consecutive seasons.
- Seattle is 11-2 in postseason games played at Lumen Field. Both losses have come against the Rams. In the 2004 season, the St. Louis Rams won 27-20, and after moving back to Los Angeles, the Rams won 30-20 in the 2020 season, when no fans attended the game.
- Kenneth Walker III rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns last week against the 49ers. His 81.6 (B-) RBi was the best score in the league during the Divisional Round.
