What happened: Nacua is focused on improving off the field during training camp, a factor in the timing of any new deal. He is expected to practice with Los Angeles while seeking an extension.

Why it matters: Waiting would let the 2026 season further shape Nacua's market value before either side commits. It also leaves Los Angeles without long-term cost certainty at receiver through the campaign.

What to watch: Watch whether talks reopen after the season and whether Nacua continues practicing without a new deal.
