Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp isn’t focused on the money aspect of his contract situation.
Kupp is set for a massive payday after the 2022 season and he could be one of, if not the highest-paid receiver in the league. He’s not thinking about that, or trying to compare himself to any other receiver.
“I don’t think that’s the approach that I take,” Kupp said. “There’s a place you want to be. There’s a place that I think is fair. I’m not trying to beat anybody. I’m not trying to compare myself to anyone else.”

Well done, Coop. That is about as slick and shifty as the routes he runs on Sundays (and Mon and Thurs and sat) #nfl #rams https://t.co/tZMpOwm0CW

There would be a lot of fans who would want some of their players to take the same line of thinking. https://t.co/Gwlhcyq4gV
