Nobody expected Tutu Atwell to get this much for one year
The Los Angeles Rams re-signed Tutu Atwell ahead of free agency to guarantee that the wide receiver would stick with the team for his fifth season but fans can’t believe how much he’s getting for one year. Atwell has signed a one-year, $10 million contract that is fully guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Did most people think Atwell would get even half that amount?

The former second round pick out of Louisville, who has always been a controversial selection based on his frame at 155 lbs, had a career-high 42 catches and 562 yards in 2024. However, Atwell failed to catch a single touchdown and he has a total of only four over four seasons.
What is it about Tutu Atwell that makes Sean McVay and Les Snead see him as so valuable?
With Cooper Kupp headed out the door, we knew that the Rams would have to retain some help around Puka Nacua, but $10 million for Tutu? Is that “too” much?
