According to Jeremy Fowler, the Rams and OT Alaric Jackson are getting close to an agreement on a long-term extension.
Fowler notes it’s not a done deal, but things are “trending in the right direction.”
Jackson is set to be an unrestricted free agent after playing out last season under a second-round tender.
Jackson, 26, was a four-year starter at Iowa and was a first-team All-Big Ten recipient in 2020, third-team All-Big Ten in 2019, second-team All-Big Ten in 2018, and a Freshman All-American in 2017.
Jackson signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 draft. He was set to be a restricted free agent this offseason before Los Angeles used a second-round tender on him worth $4.8 million for the 2024 season.
In 2024, Jackson appeared in 14 games for the Rams and started each appearance. ProFootballFocus has him rated as the No. 18 overall offensive tackle out of 81 qualifying players.
