On March 4, UPI reported that the Chicago Bears have agreed to acquire Los Angeles Rams guard via trade.
According to sources from ESPN, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bears will send the Rams a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft in exchange for the veteran lineman. The trade will not be finalized until March 12.
Jackson, 28, was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He played four seasons in Detroit, where new Bears head coach Ben Johnson was an offensive assistant and later the offensive coordinator.
Last offseason, Jackson signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Rams. A 2021 Pro Bowler, he started just four games last season due to a shoulder injury and was later benched. Throughout his career, he has played at left guard, right guard, and center.
Chicago could face significant changes on the offensive line, as three of last season’s five starters—left guard Teven Jenkins, center Coleman Shelton, and right guard Matt Pryor—are set to enter free agency.
