The Rams and Alaric Jackson agreed to a contract, according to ESPN
Hours after keeping Matthew Stafford happy with a new contract agreement, the Los Angeles Rams are said to be close to a deal with left tackle Alaric Jackson, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. In a report posted on Twitter on Friday, Fowler says that while a deal is not done, the two sides are “getting close” and that the talks are trending in the right direction for Jackson to remain with the Rams long-term.
UPDATE: The Rams and Jackson agreed to a three-year contract with up to $57 million.

This would solidify that the offense will have the same quarterback and left tackle next season, if L.A. can sign Jackson to a new contract before he hits free agency in March.

The former undrafted free agent out of Iowa has turned in an impressive career, overcoming doubts at draft time to become a full-time starter for the Rams at one of the NFL’s hardest positions to master. If the Rams can sign Jackson, it gives them one less thing to do in the offseason.
In my Rams offseason plan, I had the Rams restructuring Stafford’s contract to keep him, parting ways with Cooper Kupp, and re-signing Alaric Jackson.
