WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The Rams have traded offensive lineman Jonah Jackson to the Bears in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick.
Originally signing with the Rams as an unrestricted free agent last spring, Jackson played just four games (all starts) in an injury-shortened 2024 season.
Though that lone season in Los Angeles didn't unfold the way Jackson or the team anticipated, head coach Sean McVay in his end-of-season press conference praised Jackson's professionalism in handling the circumstances.
"I really appreciate Jonah on how he handled [the situation]," McVay said. "A starting-level player… there are a lot of teams that would love to have Jonah Jackson at guard. We'll work through that. I know that I've called it a conundrum based on some unforeseen injuries and circumstances and then how hard it is to kind of get continuity at center. He put the team first in terms of just showing up, going to work, and being a really good 'scout teamer'."
Prior to his time with the Rams, Jackson spent his first four seasons with the Lions after Detroit selected him 75th overall out of Ohio State in the 2020 NFL Draft.
