Sean McVay forced to address Puka Nacua conspiracy theory after Rams' latest roster move

Theory Briefing

• Sean McVay felt compelled to publicly deny that trading Tutu Atwell was a hidden scheme to reduce Puka Nacua's role.
• Fans connected two separate roster moves and built a conspiracy theory fast enough to reach the head coach's press podium.
• McVay's denial itself became the story — a coach addressing fan speculation is rare and signals how loud the theory got.
• The Rams' receiver room reshuffling gave just enough ambiguity for supporters to fill the gap with a sinister explanation.
