Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell agreed to terms on a one-year, $10 million contract that includes $5 million guaranteed at signing, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.
Per reports, the deal was completed by agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.
The news comes a few weeks after longtime Rams receiver Cooper Kupp announced that he has been informed by the team that he will be traded.
Kupp, 31, has been plagued by injuries over the past three years and has only topped 800 yards once during the span. Last season, he injured an ankle in Week 2 and was limited to 12 games, producing 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns.
He was named an All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year following the 2021 season, in which he caught 145 passes for 1,947 yards with 16 touchdowns, all NFL highs.
Atwell, 25, posted career highs in catches (42) and receiving yards (562) in 17 games (five starts) last season. He did not have a receiving touchdown, however.
A Super Bowl champion with Los Angeles, Atwell has 99 catches for 1,343 yards and four touchdowns in 54 career games (23 starts) since being selected by the Rams in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
