Rams Stars Face Market-Setting Contract Extensions

Spotrac projects Rams' Puka Nacua could command $41 million annually and defensive tackle Kobie Turner may exceed $30 million in upcoming contract extensions.

Los Angeles Rams star receiver Puka Nacua could be in line for a market-setting contract, with Spotrac's Michael Ginnitti projecting a potential four-year, $164 million deal worth $41 million annually. This would surpass current receiver market leader Ja'Marr Chase's $40 million annual value.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Kobie Turner is valued at $24.9 million per year in Spotrac's system, but Ginnitti believes he could eclipse $30 million when negotiations conclude, potentially ranking second only to Kansas City's Chris Jones. The Rams also have contract extensions looming for Byron Young and Steve Avila this offseason.
