Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead declined to provide updates on Puka Nacua's contract negotiations during an ESPN interview. Nacua, entering the final year of his rookie contract, has not reached a deal as the season approaches. While Snead noted that Nacua is healthy and focused, sources indicate that a new contract is unlikely before Week 1. Nacua's contract for the upcoming year is valued at $5.8 million, raising questions about the Rams' strategy regarding negotiations given Nacua's recent off-field issues, including a lawsuit. Despite the uncertainties, the Rams reportedly want Nacua to remain with the team long-term.
