After ratifying Matthew Stafford's return for the next season, the Rams ensured the protection on his blind side. According to ESPN, the franchise agreed with Alaric Jackson for an extension of the three -seasons contract for an amount of $ 57 million, 35 of which are fully guaranteed.
Aged 26, Jackson has been holder for two season on the left side of the offensive line. Not drafted in 2021, he was then drafted at the 2nd of the CFL draft, the Canadian League. But signed by the Rams a few days later, he had made the camps and won his place in the team.
Trained at the University of Iowa, reputed for his offensive linemen, Alaric Jackson first evolved a few games in the post of Guard in 2022, before taking the role of holder like Tackle Left. In 2024, he conceded 3 sacks, 4 QB hits and clerks 7 penalties. His return ensures continuity to attack Sean Mcvay and offers great guarantees. The RAMs finished 2024 in 6th place in the teams that conceded the least sacks.
