There was a negotiation?

I love Cooper Kupp so much, man. So damn thankful for our team and organization right now! It's truly something to be proud of!

@brucebruce and @OldSchool keep it about the topic - not each other.

We're all happy about Kupp being extended. More about THAT.

Not gonna lie the AD holdout thing irked me. But he's a unique player. So just like with Dickerson I chalk it up to greed and accept it because the player is good enough to overcome my irritation.

So it is nice to see Kupp's approach. Including in comparison to how AD approached it. At this point I figure AD has two more seasons, because he should still be top defensive player at $35M next year and hopefully not fully burned through his bonus yet.

I just hope Kupp can continue to show the health he showed this year. And I think that's part of the reason they added Robinson, to ensure there's a dog on the roster in the event 10 misses time.

The takeaway for me is this is a 2 way street. Players get paid but want to play for the Rams. Rarely does that happens. Most big contracts of great players make everything so difficult and in the end they get paid but are never happy with their respective teams.

again with the misinformation. i hated when he said AD got a $45m raise when his whole job in the interview was to explain how teams use the signing bonus to beat the cap.

AD got a $30m raise as his previous contract average was $21m per year. still hefty but nowhere near what's being reported.

edit - actually he's right. brain fart on my part. AD is not paying back any of the signing bonus (is he?) so the new contract is in fact a $45m raise. ouch. it also means that instead of being paid an average of $22m per year for his previous contract it actually ends up as $28m per year with the signing bonus money being kept by AD. he was getting paid qb money already and we didn't even know it.

.

This is from overthecap.com. If accurate, it looks like AD made about $87m over the 4 years of his second contract (prior to this new deal). That came out to almost $22m per year.

well, there you go. they must have tacked on a couple of huge salary years at the end of his extension as he was only due $15m this year.

$15 million base pay this year before the new deal.

One salary year of about $29.3m in 2025 after AD retires. Basically rams will carry an extra QB-sized cap hit that year and the SB window probably closes for a bit.

Huh?

Two years of $5 million signing bonus in 25 and 26 and if he doesn't retire before 2024 that $20 million bonus is prorated over three years. If he does retire he doesn't get it. Not sure where this $29.3 number is coming from. Now even if he retires before 24 we have a $19.5 million cap hit for the rest of the signing bonus and the last year of his previous restructure.

i was talking about his previous extension that the rams ripped up to sign him to a new contract this year.

It looks like overthecap.com and spotrac are reporting different contract structures.
