Cooper Kupp has at least 75 million ‘thank yous’ for new contract with Rams

LA Times  

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp and coach Sean McVay watch drills Thursday during mandatory minicamp. Kupp cited Rams coaches and teammates who helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI to cap an historic individual season. “But none of it is possible without the guys that I have around me, and that’s the bottom line, point blank, period.” Kupp, who turns 29 Wednesday, led the league with 145 receptions, 1,949 yards receiving and 16 touchdown catches, becoming the first player in nearly two decades to achieve the so-called triple crown. Kupp caught eight passes, two for touchdowns, in the Rams’ Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium and was named the most valuable player of Super Bowl LVI. Kupp will prepare this summer as the Rams attempt to become the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots did it in the 2004 season.
