With a massive payday potentially looming as he enters the final year of his rookie contract, Rams star receiver Puka Nacua recently changed agents.
Nacua, who had been represented by Athletes First, signed with Win Sports Group, which negotiated huge deals for Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Baltimore Ravens receiver Zay Flowers.
“It was something for me, looking at the offseason and where I feel like I’ve been at in this past year,” Nacua said of the change. “Trying to reset and be able to refocus and reprioritize some of the things that I feel like are best for me.
“I’m grateful to feel like I have a team supporting me in all facets.”
Nacua led the NFL in receptions last season and was voted an All-Pro. The 2023 fifth-round draft pick is due to earn about $5.8 million this season, according to Overthecap.com.

Established Rams stars such as Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua and new stars such as cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive end Myles Garrett have been the talk of training camp.
Rookie quarterback Ty Simpson, the 13th pick in the NFL draft, also has garnered attention.
Meantime, second-year players such as outside linebacker Josaiah Stewart have continued to make positive impressions in a bid to increase their roles for a team favored to win the Super Bowl.
Stewart, a 2025 third-round pick from Michigan, has made plays in several full-pads practices.
“I said to him that ever since we’ve got the pads on, he decided to make a bunch of plays,” defensive coordinator Chris Shula said. “He’s physical on the edge. I think he’s an every-down player. ... A guy that really can do it all and do it all at a high level.”
Tight end Terrance Ferguson and receiver Konata Mumpfield, 2025 second- and seventh-round picks, also have made plays during training camp.
