The Los Angeles Rams have one of the best offenses in the NFL, and that should continue to be the case with a lot of star players in the unit.

Looking forward, the Rams will have to figure out who they want to pay, and with the expectation that Davante Adams is either going to hang it up soon or be traded, it's easy to believe that Los Angeles will pay its top receiver in Puka Nacua.

Nacua has had some off-the-field issues over the past few months, but it was recently predicted that those won't matter too much, projecting him to land a four-year, $175 million extension.

“Off-field issues aside, Puka has produced at a level that should put him in the conversation to reset the WR market financially ($42M+ AAV, $100M+ guaranteed). Prediction: LA locks in Nacua to a 4-year, $175M extension before training camp,” Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac wrote.

From a pure player standpoint, there aren't many better receivers in the NFL than Nacua, and he certainly is worth the $175 million deal that was projected here.
