With Stafford Staying Rams Agreed To Terms With Alaric Jackson
The Los Angeles Rams have been rather busy this week as they work on crafting their roster. We had all been waiting to see what would happen with franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. Yesterday the team officially announced that they had agreed to terms with the quarterback on a contract restructure. Apparently things came together quickly after Stafford and his agent had been granted permission to speak to other teams about his value on the quarterback market. So with Stafford staying the Rams have also agreed to terms with Alaric Jackson.
Having their quarterback wrapped up, it makes sense to attend to the offensive line. Therefore they turned their attention to their dominant left tackle Alaric Jackson. Jackson was an undrafted free agent out of Iowa who signed with the Rams on May 3, 2021. He showed enough to the team to be kept on the 53-man roster but didn’t garner much playing time in his rookie season. But he was a member of that Super Bowl LVI winning team so he’s already a champ. And the Rams feel like they are close to getting back to the big game.
They’re proving it by paying the players they think can help them get there. Having said that they agreed on a three-year, $57 million contract, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Friday. Jackson’s deal includes $35 million guaranteed, per Rapoport and Pelissero.

Jackson played a large role in the success of Stafford on the field. He was one of 13 qualified tackles with a 75.0-plus PFF grade in both pass and run blocking this past season. Allowing Stafford to finish the 2024 season completing 65.8% of his passes for 3,762 yards with 20 touchdowns against eight interceptions. The Rams knew that Jackson would have been highly sought after by other teams.
Stafford has taken a lot of hits over the course of his career. So knowing that his blind side will continue to be protected must make him feel good about staying with the Rams. Jackson, as an undrafted rookie free agent has done well for himself. Here’s a clip of a clash Jackson had with Cleveland Browns’ Miles Garrett. You can’t say the man doesn’t earn his paycheck.
