Hours after ensuring that Matthew Stafford remained with the Rams, the Los Angeles Rams have made a significant move to secure another key player on their offensive line. According to multiple reports, the Rams and offensive tackle Alaric Jackson have agreed to a three-year deal worth $57 million with $35 million guaranteed, as reported by Fox Sports.
Jackson, who was poised to enter free agency and was ranked No. 20 on Pete Prisco’s top-100 list of free agents, will remain with the Rams for the next few seasons. The 27-year-old Jackson joined the team as an undrafted free agent and played under a salary of $4.89 million last season.
