It was reported last week that the L.A. Rams intended to give offensive tackle A.J. Jackson the restricted free agent tender and the team followed through with that plan on Tuesday, but for a higher price than previously assumed. Instead of the original round tender, which would have cost the Rams almost $3 million in 2024 cap space and made it possible that Jackson would leave, L.A. decided to go with the second round tender instead.
That will cost the Rams $4.89 million in cap space and almost certainly locks him into the team for 2024.
