The Detroit Lions are set to lose their starting left guard. As first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Jonah Jackson is signing a three-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. Per Garafolo, Jackson’s deal is worth $51 million ($17M per year) and has $34 million in guarantees.
Jackson was the Lions’ third-round pick in 2020 and was a four-year starter for Detroit. Though he recently struggled to stay healthy and in the lineup, Jackson missed a total of just 10 games over the four-year span. In 2021, Jackson made the Pro Bowl in just his second NFL season.
