Rams | LA not in a hurry for Puka Nacua extension Wed Jul 1, 01:00 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, but after trading for CB Trent McDuffie and DE Myles Garrett, the team doesn't seem to be in a hurry for any contract extensions, in the opinion of ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Tuesday, June 30.

Footballguys view: The Rams have a strong group of extension-eligible candidates from their 2023 draft class, and Nacua is at the top of that list. It remains to be seen whether the Rams get ahead of those contract extensions or focus instead on the 2026 season. The latter appears to be the way they are leaning. A deal could certainly get done -- one that makes Nacua the top-paid player at his position -- but Nacua's situation is further complicated by recent off-field issues. Of course, none of this changes Nacua's status as a consensus top-five fantasy pick.

Patriots | A 'hold-in' possible for Christian Gonzalez? Tue Jun 30, 04:19 PM

New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez could 'hold-in' if a contract extension isn't reached before veterans are scheduled to report to training camp, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss on Tuesday, June 30.

Footballguys view: When Gonzalez met with reporters after the first day of mandatory minicamp on June 9, he was asked whether he would play this season without a new contract. The initial part of his answer was: "We got a long time to the season." The sides are expected to continue discussing an extension, with the next checkpoint coming July 24, when most veterans are scheduled to report for training camp. Gonzalez would face fines for not reporting, which would all but ensure a hold-in.

The Lions selected Arnold in the first round of the 2924 draft. His release leaves a major hole at the cornerback spot for the Lions, as he was scheduled to start on the outside opposite D.J. Reed.

When training camp begins, Delane is projected to be a starter who will get plenty of one-on-one instruction from longtime coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
