Report: Rams to trade Jonah Jackson to Bears
Per Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Los Angeles has agreed to trade Jackson to Chicago in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025.
The deal cannot become official until the start of the new league year next week.
Jackson, 28, signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Rams in free agency last season. But after suffering an injury early in the season, Jackson was benched once he was healthy to keep the Rams' starting five up front more consistent.
It was reported last week that L.A. had given Jackson permission to seek a trade.
Jackson started a total of four games in 2024, including the team's Week 18 game where head coach Sean McVay elected to rest most starters.
The Lions selected Jackson in the third round of the 2020 draft. He was a Pro Bowler in 2021 after starting 16 games at guard that season.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Bears will take on Jackson's full contract. He is slated to make $17.5 million total in 2025 and will also be under contract in 2026.
With the trade, the Bears have addressed a key need along their offensive line before the start of free agency.

Rich Eisen's 'SportsCenter' return included tearful Stuart Scott tribute
Rich Eisen's return to SportsCenter was ― wait for it ― cooler than the other side of the pillow. Did you catch that reference? It's a callback to the late Stuart Scott, who was Eisen's partner on the program for seven years. Scott, who passed away after a battle with cancer in 2015, was known for his quirky one-liners while anchoring and his effortless ability to blend sports and culture like no one else. On Monday, when Eisen hosted SportsCenter, ESPN played a wonderful tribute to Scott that highlighted many standout moments from the duo's time together. The tribute included everything from a commercial the pair filmed with the late Kobe Bryant to a number of their iconic on-air interactions. When it was finished, Eisen, who was visibly somber, said, "It has been a blast being here tonight, but listen, we all know there should be someone else right here in this chair next to me." As the camera panned to an empty chair, Eisen continued speaking about Scott, and his voice started to quiver. "I miss Stuart so very much," Eisen eventually said. "He should be in that chair with me, with us tonight." In case anyone managed to make it through the moment without actually full-on crying, the host of The Rich Eisen Show also included some of Scott's signature calls, like "Boo-Yah!", into a highlights package for good measure. What an incredible moment. The tribute and nostalgia were perfect. That'll do, Rich Eisen. That'll do.

Bengals and Trey Hendrickson Contract Standoff Receives Major Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson continue to have stalled contract talks. Though there was hope that Hendrickson's return to practice would help to ignite those talks, both parties remain at an impasse. More news: Former NFL Pro Bowler Shares Bold Shedeur Sanders Browns Prediction In fact, it was recently reported that the Bengals would listen to trade offers regarding Hendrickson due to those contract talks stalling. The good news for the team and fans is that there has been no movement on trades just yet. It could be that the Bengals are seeking an impact player and top draft pick, which many teams might not be willing to let go. However, it could also be that the organization is being stubborn on one important aspect of the contract. According to the telecast, when the Bengals took on the Washington Commanders, a new update was revealed regarding the contract standoff. From the MNF broadcast: ESPN's @LauraRutledge spoke to Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson and Hendrickson reiterated some main points: -- Hold-up on deal is about guaranteed money -- Two sides agree on the years and average annual salary -- No progress on deal or trades — Ben Baby (@Ben_Baby) August 19, 2025 Laura Rutledge was speaking on the telecast when she revealed that there had been significant movement on the contract. Apparently, Hendrickson and the Bengals have agreed on the years of the deal and annual salary. The big hold up is regarding guaranteed money. This makes sense as the guaranteed money for a contract is generally the most important aspect of any new deal. Hendrickson, 30, is coming off back-to-back seasons with exactly 17.5 sacks, and he's been a Pro Bowler each of the last four years. Hendrickson, 30, is coming off back-to-back seasons with exactly 17.5 sacks, and he's been a Pro Bowler each of the last four news: Bengals Receive Strong Trey Hendrickson Warning From Former NFL QB Players want to ensure they have guaranteed money in case of injury, trade, or any other instance that would impact their playing future. Hendrickson is a perennial pass rusher, but he is also 30 years old. Most NFL players, especially those like defensive ends, start to dwindle past 30 years old. That is not always the case, but the game of football being so physical usually leads to "older" players losing a step past 30. Hendrickson might be trying to set up his future with the team and ensure that if he happens to be injured, he won't have to worry about the money from his contract. It is a bit strange that the Bengals are not willing to budge on the guaranteed money when they have an All-Pro defensive end in Hendrickson. He led the league in sacks in 2024 with 17.5, and also had the same number in 2023. Hendrickson is the anchor of the defense and a disrupting player who matters in the grand scheme of things. The Bengals generally have a much worse defense than offense, and losing Hendrickson would severely impact the team's playoff hopes. The Bengals need to find a resolution soon, as there are only a few weeks until the start of the regular season. For more on the Bengals, head to Newsweek Sports.
