Rams Face Massive Puka Nacua Contract Extension

On March 21st, the Los Angeles Rams face a huge contract extension for

why receiver Puka Nakua this season.

Rival Seattle Seahawks moves have driven up the why receiver market, with experts

now pegging Nakua's deal at around $45 million per year.

Earlier this week, the Seahawks exercised 5th year options on why

to receive a Jackson Smith Injibba and Cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

Those were their top picks from the 2023 draft, and both are headed for massive

paydays.

Analysts like Bill Barnwell see those two combining for about $76 million

annually on new contracts.

That tops the current high mark of $40 million per year, held by

John Marche Ace, putting pressure on teams like the Rams.

The Rams recently reset their own cornerback market, so Nakua's situation

mirrors that urgency.

A likely four-year deal could total $180 million, with over $115 million

guaranteed.

Those brass know the salary cap keeps climbing, making it smarter to

lock Nakua in now before Seattle pushes prices even higher next year.
