The Rams checked a big box off their offseason wishlist Wednesday, agreeing to terms on a five-year extension with Jalen Ramsey. It was a contract nearly a year in the making, but it finally got done before Week 1, easing the minds of the Rams front office and Ramsey himself.
He may not be the only Rams player to sign an extension this week, either.
On the same day that L.A. extended Ramsey, Sean McVay told reporters that the Rams hope to sign Cooper Kupp to a new deal this week, too.
Sean McVay says that “it is the hope” that the Rams get a deal done with WR Cooper Kupp this week.

Les Snead said Monday that the team was working on deals for Ramsey and Kupp, but wouldn’t reveal an exact timeline. He ensured that the team would be open to continuing negotiations into the regular season, but that may not be necessary for either player.
Kupp is set to be a free agent in 2021 as he enters his fourth NFL season. He had the best season of his career in 2019, catching 94 passes for 1,161 yards and 10 touchdowns.
