Report: Rams to trade Jonah Jackson to Bears
The Rams have found a trade partner for offensive lineman Jonah Jackson.
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.

John Brenkus, founder and host of ESPN's 'Sports Science' show, dies
Content warning: This story contains references to suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide and needs support now, call or text 988 or chat with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 'Sports Science' founder and host John Brenkus died on Saturday, his family announced on social media on Sunday night. Advertisement Brenkus, who won six Emmy Awards for his show that appeared both on ESPN and Fox Sports Net, had been battling depression for years. 'Sports Science' first debuted on Fox Sports Net in 2007, though it moved to ESPN a few years later. The network eventually purchased the brand from Brenkus, who hosted more than 1,800 segments of the popular show. The show's concept was a simple one. The goal was largely to explain why or how things in the sports world were possible. Sometimes it was something serious like, 'What makes Tyreek Hill the fastest player in the NFL?' Other times the subject matter was far lighter, like how eating champion Joey Chestnut is physically able to put down as many hot dogs as he is. Regardless, the episodes were always entertaining whenever they popped up. Advertisement Brenkus brought back his show in recent years on his own platform. He had been open about his fight with depression, too, and he shared a story with Marcellus Wiley in 2023 where he said he tried to commit suicide but his dog saved him. Plenty in the sports media world paid tribute to Brenkus on social media on Sunday night after the announcement.
