Since he signed a three-year, $80 million contract in 2022 that the L.A. Rams were under no obligation to give him, Cooper Kupp has made $50 million over 2.25 seasons with the following numbers: 23 of a possible 38 games, 152 catches on 220 targets, 1,696 yards, 12 touchdowns, 11.2 yards per catch, and a 69% catch rate, plus two fumbles, seven drops, and seven passes intended for Kupp that were intercepted.

From 2022 to 2023, Kupp averaged 11 games, 67 catches, 775 yards, and six touchdowns. He has already missed two games this season and is expected to miss a third on Sunday.

Kupp has made roughly $2 million per game that he was active in (he probably wasn’t “healthy” for many, or any, of them) and a little less than $5 million for every touchdown.

Though you could say that the Rams were simply rewarding Kupp for his Offensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl MVP, and triple crown season, giving Kupp what he “deserved” has amounted int L.A. having the cheapest and worst defense in the NFL...and no Cooper Kupp!

If the Rams were rewarding Kupp, it was a grave business error that hurt the future of the roster when it wasn’t necessary to do so.

But it would be even worse if the Rams extended Kupp to one of the NFL’s richest contracts going into his age-29 season because they believed he would be worth it. The warning signs and the red flags about over-30 receivers were impossible to ignore, but somehow NFL general managers, owners, and coaches continue to make the same contractual mistakes over and over and over again.

The Rams should have never extended Cooper Kupp coming off of his best career season and they have no excuses for saying “We had no way of knowing that he had peaked!”

I wrote about it in December of 2021. If Les Snead doesn’t read Turf Show Times, maybe he should start.

Oh boy. Being 1-3 sucks.

The Rams will probably have to move on from Kupp next season. They paid him and he just hasn't been available enough over the last couple seasons.

 

[XXXIVwin]

Hindsight is 20-20.

Kupp played in 16 games in 2019, 15 games in 2020, and then 17 games in 2021, his monster year.

This place has turned in to reddit it seems. Just so much negativity regurgitated on a daily basis and nothing ever positive.

Turf Show Times (and every other SB Nation site) is generally considered the opposite of required reading.

Cooper Kupp has given far more to this team than his exploits (and stats) on the field will ever show. Posts like this are a waste of everyone's time.

 

[tempests]

Kupp should've been league MVP in 2021. He earned a raise.

There hasn't been a contract or transaction the Rams have done in 15 years that Turf Show Times hasn't moaned, groaned or bitched about.

Lou…you’re on your rookie contract. Not sure you’re heading towards a 2nd contract.

@LOURam85 many of us left the turd show crimes to join this site with the goal of leaving the negativity and pessimism behind.

While it’s ok to doubt and seek the need for improvement, that’s not the vibe from this article. Looking forward to your future posts.

Go Rams!

Must've forgot about a few clutch plays down the stretch in 2021, eh???

Facts are facts tho but I understand I want post about you guys golden boy!!!

Facts are facts tho but I understand I want post about you guys golden boy!!!

You post an article from what is widely regarded as the absolute worst sports site with Rams content to exist that's shitting on one of the best Rams players in a long time and you didn't expect negative comments about the article?

Everybody will tell you post all you want, but if all you got from this is he's our "golden boy" then you really are missing the message. ShitShowTimes is not a good site. It's a fan based site that has some very ignorant people writing there as is evidenced by this article. Cooper Kupp has been a great player for the Rams and has earned every penny of his contract with his performance on the field and in the locker room.

Again post whatever you want about whoever you want to post. But don't think just because you post something people will like it. Just like you have every right to post something even from ShitshowTimes, people have every right to tell you what they think of the content you're sharing.

[sloramfan]

wait a fuc&ing minute...

kupps injury was a blatent non call... anyone of us would be hospitalized with that tackle...

to say kupp is injury prone, means you are an ass that doesn' t know shit....

odds are in your favor with some of the kupp mishaps, but the nfl is a tough road to hoe.. shitty luck does not mean injury prone...

go rams

slo

 

[fearsomefour]

Kupp should probably learn to adapt some Ike Bruce to his game and dive down now and then.
The guy is a scrapper and fights to stay up every time taking more hits. Similar play style as Puka.
I think there is a real chance Kupp comes back in a couple weeks and has a successful rest of the season.
