Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, report the Rams plan to prioritize a long‑term deal for Nacua once the season ends.
- Rapoport indicated Los Angeles is prepared to pursue near–top‑of‑market terms around $40 million annually, with the possibility of challenging Ja’Marr Chase’s benchmark.
- Nacua delivered a career‑best 181 receiving yards in a 41‑34 win over the Lions that clinched a playoff berth for the Rams.
- Rams PR noted Nacua’s 336 receiving yards over his last two games are the most by a Los Angeles receiver in a two‑game span since Torry Holt in 2003.
- After the Detroit game, Nacua reached 102 receptions for 1,367 yards and six touchdowns this season, drawing praise from Sean McVay (“PacMan”) and Tom Brady, who likened him to Larry Fitzgerald.
