Cooper Kupp Contract: Salary, Guaranteed Money, Dead Cap

Cooper Kupp is a former Super Bowl MVP with over $100 million in career earnings from his NFL contracts alone.

He’s also an aging wide receiver, which means his remaining time in the NFL may be limited. Kupp’s 2025 stat line of 50-ish catches for 600-ish yards is the lowest for any season of his career, except for when he was hurt in 2018.

Seattle’s offense has benefitted from Kupp’s veteran experience, as have any Seahawks odds bettors who took them to win the NFC and play in Super Bowl LX. 

But with Kupp turning 33 in 2026, it’s fair to wonder if the front office is eyeing his dead cap number. The front office may feel it got what it needed from him with a Super Bowl run.
