        Puka Nacua Done At 30?

        By Jared Smola | Updated on Tue, Mar 25 2025 12:40 PM UTC

        Rams WR Puka Nacua said on a recent podcast that he plans to retire at 30. That'd mean six or seven more seasons for the soon-to-be 24-year-old. Nacua followed a huge 2023 rookie campaign by averaging even more catches (7.2) and yards per game (90.0) this past year. His 184 catches and 2,476 yards are both top-seven marks in NFL history by a WR through his first two seasons.

        What They're Saying

        Nacua: "I think of Aaron Donald, to go out at the top, I think it would be super cool. But also, I want to have a big family. I want to have at least a starting five. I came from a big family so I need five boys, for sure. But also, like, I want to be able to be a part of their lives and be as active as I can with them. The injuries are something you can’t control (as) part of the game, so you never know. ... By the time my kids could be 18, I could be barely walking if you play the game and sustain all the injuries and stuff like that, but I want to retire early.”

        Dynasty Impact

        Certainly not what dynasty owners want to hear. But six or seven years is still a long ways away. Nacua could always change his mind. And, even if he doesn't, another six or seven seasons of high-end fantasy production would still make Nacua a super valuable dynasty asset.

        Nacua owners should hang on tight. And if you don't own him, consider sending a trade offer along with a link to this story!
