In a noteworthy move, left guard Jonah Jackson bids farewell to the Detroit Lions and secures a promising future with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams have reportedly sealed the deal with Jackson, offering an impressive $51 million over the next three years, with a substantial $34 million guaranteed.
Jackson’s departure leaves a void in the Detroit Lions’ offensive line, marking the end of his impactful four-season tenure.
A third-round pick in 2020, Jackson contributed significantly to the team’s success, starting 57 games and earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.
Despite his remarkable contributions, injuries have plagued Jackson in the last two seasons, causing him to miss six games, including a crucial NFC Championship game. In his absence, the Lions turned to Colby Sorsdal and Kayode Awosika to step up to the challenge.
The move to the Rams positions Jackson alongside offensive guard Kevin Dotson, who recently inked a contract extension. Additionally, Jackson reunites with former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, creating an intriguing dynamic on the Rams’ roster.
As Jackson embarks on this new chapter with the Rams, the Lions face the challenge of filling the void left by his departure, underscoring the impactful role he played in Detroit’s offensive line.
