LOS ANGELES (AP) — Puka Nacua says he never considered holding out of training camp as he enters the final year of his rookie contract with the Los Angeles Rams. His upcoming payday will be the first contract for Nacua, whose four-year rookie deal was worth just over $4 million as a fifth-round pick in 2023. Nacua says the Rams and his camp “haven’t had too many conversations” about the current state of negotiations for a new deal. Coach Sean McVay refused to make a connection between Nacua’s future behavior and the ultimate contract talks. I love his heart, and I love the growth that he’s had, and we’re with him every step of the way.”
