    Erin Coscarelli is joined by Nate Atkins, The Athletic’s Rams insider, to break down the franchise’s most pressing storylines heading into the 2026 season. They open with Matthew Stafford’s new contract extension and discuss how his uncertain long-term future shapes every roster decision the team makes. The conversation turns to the offensive line, where four of five starters are entering contract years simultaneously, creating a fascinating internal audition for who stays and who gets priced out. Puka Nacua’s contract extension emerges as the most complex situation on the roster — Atkins explains why off-field concerns are delaying what should be a straightforward deal, and why a franchise tag or even a trade can’t be ruled out. The episode closes with the big picture: the Rams lead the NFL with seven primetime games, host the Super Bowl in L.A. this year, and carry legitimate championship expectations — all while juggling one of the most complicated roster puzzles in the league.
