ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the Rams will tender a contract offer to restricted free agent LT Alaric Jackson.
Fowler reports it is expected to be at the original-round, $3.116 million level. Since Jackson is a former undrafted free agent, it means the Rams would receive no compensation were Jackson to sign an offer sheet elsewhere and L.A. declined to match. A bit player his first two years in the league, Jackson became a 15-game starter last season, holding up surprisingly well on Matthew Stafford’s blindside. 26 in July, Jackson is old for a fourth-year pro but still relatively young and projectable for a tackle.
