    The are coming off a Super Bowl run where they managed to beat the in dominant fashion, thanks to their defense and running back Kenneth Walker III having a Super Bowl MVP-type performance. Coming off such a win, on the backs of the defense and their running back, it's interesting that Seattle spent so much on their wide receiver room. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed are all currently on big contracts. One of those players, according to , is the most overpaid player on the team. And of those three, All-Pro receiver Kupp is the most overpaid player thanks to his $35.5 million deal. Cooper Kupp named most overpaid Seahawks player "The former Offensive Player of the Year didn't have a bad 2025 season for a 32-year-old non-centerpiece, but that's sort of the point," Gagnon writes. "He's slated to cost the team $35.5 million over the course of the next two Tyreek Maddox-Williams Jersey seasons despite the fact that he was targeted just 4.4 times per game in his debut campaign with the Seahawks." Seattle is spending a ton of money on their wide receiver room, but of the trio of Smith-Njigba, Shaheed, and Kupp, the former star is the most overpaid player of the bunch. It makes a lot of sense. Smith-Njigba is coming off one of the best seasons from a WR ever, while Shaheed, a mid-season trade pickup, just signed an extension after making the All-Pro team in 2025 thanks to his returner prowe s. More : Kupp caught 47 pa ses for 593 yards and two touchdowns in 2025. He was playing second-fiddle to Smith-Njigba, but he was still a solid player. In the playoffs, Kupp caught 15 of 23 targets for 157 yards and one touchdown as a quality alternative to Smith-Njigba in the Seahawks three-game Super Bowl run. His $35.5 million mark over the next two seasons, with cap hits of $17.47 million in 2026 and $18 million in 2027, is a lot. But if the Seahawks want, they can get out of his deal and save $14 million in cap space in 2028. Kupp might be the most overpaid player on the Seahawks, but thanks to the ma sive contracts of Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon not hitting just yet, this isn't such a bad deal, even though Gagnon called Kupp the most overpaid player on the team.
