Puka Nacua can prove he’s back on the right track after checking in and out of rehab , setting himself up for a record-breaking payday extension before Week 1 if everything goes according to plan.

But Nacua isn’t the only Rams player who with something major at stake this offseason and most of them are much less proven as far less established. Who else has the most to gain? WR Puka Nacua Just by keeping his name in the headlines for football reasons only, Nacua separates himself from all the ugly headlines of the past .

He is the face of the franchise and all fans want from him moving forward is stories about how much he’s killing it in practice. If he does that, Nacua could set a new record for receiver salary, upwards of $45 million per season. QB Ty Simpson Although he is not going to start this season, and potentially won’t get a shot for several years to come if Matthew Stafford does not retire after 2026 , Simpson is the most hyped Rams rookie since Jared Goff simply because he’s a quarterback.

More eyes will be on Simpson this offseason than Stafford, mostly because Stafford does not figure to practice very often and the rookie will be out there everyday. A good offseason for Simpson and fans will be very hyped for the future of the position. Any reports that Simpson is a long ways away from being ready and fans will be even more skeptical of the decision than they already were .
