0:00On March 23rd, the Los Angeles Rams are pushing hard for the 2026 season while building for the long haul beyond quarterback Matthew, Stafford's retirement. They recently traded for quarterback Trent McDuffy and locked him into a four-year deal worth $124 million. Now why receiver Puka Nakua stands to benefit big time as he heads into his first extension talks this offseason. A fresh contract for Seattle Seahawks receiver Jackson Smith Injigba has just reset the market for top lightouts. His four-year extension totals $168.6 million with $120 million guaranteed and an average of $42.15 million per year. That tops the previous high set by Cincinnati's Jarmar Chase at $161 million over four years. Fans and analysts see this as perfect timing for Nakua, who had a breakout year with $129 catches for $1,700, 15 yards and 10 touchdowns. His career average of $95.3 receiving yards per game is the best ever in NFL history,

Rams insiders expect Nakua to push for a deal in the same range or even higher, given his production despite not matching Smith Injigba's latest stats.
