Does Cooper Kupp Deserve The Top WR Contract In The NFL?

He only went below 70% in a game two times, with the first coming against the Arizona Cardinals.

His reception to target rate puts him in the top five of receivers during 2021, meaning he’s extremely reliable.

With him still beating defenses deep into the NFL season, and during the playoffs, he’s shown that no one has an answer to him.

His ability to beat defensive players is why he’s so good.

However, only one thing could haunt Kupp in his ever improving status in the NFL

Injury History From 2018 Could Strike Back

While Kupp has been healthy since suffering multiple injuries in 2018, those problems could come back.

He suffered a concussion, MCL sprain, and ACL tear all in 2018, which shortened his season.

However, he’s been strong since returning from those injuries.

But with him being a receiver, and taking hard hits, as time goes on, those injuries could haunt him.

While he’s made a full recovery from those long forgotten injuries, the older he gets, the more likely he could re-injure himself.

If that were to happen, that contract would be a bust for Los Angeles.

However, with Kupp showing over the last three seasons that he’s healthy, they aren’t worried about that.

He’s shows each season that he’s able to stay healthy.

But in the NFL, health is never a guaranteed thing on the field.
