Puka Naikua saw the number.
Therefore, there is no doubt, Ramas General Manager Les Saned, and Vice President Tony Pastorce, were in charge of the team’s senior executive contracts.
When Garat Wilson of New York Jets signed a four -year extension in this month, including $ 90 million in the guarantee, he became the latest young NFL receiver star to cash before playing his crook contract.
Naikua is in the third year of his crook deal with Ram. He will be eligible for an expansion in offsen.
“I try my best to be fully present, where I have legs,” Naikua said this week after the first practice of Rums, seeing that he played with Wilson in a high school all-star game. “It is exciting to see people, to pursue the envelope for the broad receiver game.”
NACUA, the fifth round of draft pick in 2023, will earn more than 1 million dollars this season, according to overtechap.com.
For Rama, it ranks as one of the best deal of NFL.
24 -year -old Naikua became a breakout star in his first season, with several NFL miscreants recorded and a Pro Bowl was made. In the previous season, despite sitting out five games due to a knee injury, he continued during a Presiden Workout against Chargers and then increased in the opener against Detroit Lions, holding 79 passes for 990 yards and three touchdowns.

With climbing in Naikua No.1 receiver, Rama moved from veteran Cooper Kupp and signed All-Prop Devante Adams three times.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford will be sidelined for taking backwards through the first week of the first week of the training camp. But on Wednesday, working with experienced backup Jimmy Garopolo, Naikua and Adams showed a glow of enthusiasm, which they expect to generate them for a team that would be considered as a valid super bowl contender.
During his brief time as teammates, Naikua said that he has learned about maximizing body control, museness, on-field awareness and maximizing the root-rings leverage from adams.
“He explains it well in the meeting room,” Naikua said, “So it makes it fun to watch and be like this,” Okay, how can I add some of these things to my toolbox? “
Naikua stated that Adams’s “confusion of speed and lateral quickness” stands out.
“I wouldn’t say that there are many people who can repeat some things that he can,” Naikua said, “but trying to understand the movement so that I can add it to my game.”

Naikua and Adams are the stars of a Ram receiving a Ram, including quick Tutu Atwell, who play a year -old $ 10 million contract and second -year supporters playing on Jordan Whitington.
As Naikua navigated his third training camp, he said he would focus on improving his “pre-practice preparation” as Ram is ready for his sept 7 opener against Houston Texas.
Naikua said about her first two camps, “I think I can get up from bed and get ready to roll and no one can warm up.” “When I used to rise out of bed, I probably didn’t run fast as a tutu, but I think I can get out and be ready to settle. So … pre-practice preparation, so when I hit the field, I know that I can start rolling as soon as I get out of here.”
Rama is currently in conversation with a potential expansion of Kyren Williams back. But that deal, if this happens, will not compare with them 2026 and beyond.
If Naikua remains injury free and he maintains or enhances his production, he may be a possible megadial at hand before the 2026 training camp.
Defense lineman Cobie Turner will also be eligible for an extension. Rashar Jered Kavita is another young star for the possible large paras after the 2026 season.
Naikua is not looking far ahead because he prepares his brain and body for the upcoming season.
“It would probably be the best I feel for the rest of the year,” he jokingly said. “I enjoy these moments because they will not stay for a very long time, but I feel fantastic right now.
“ready to roll.”
