The Los Angeles Rams are planning to put the restricted free agent tender on left tackle A.J. Jackson, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The move starts the process of the Rams being able to keep Jackson in 2024, but doesn’t necessarily guarantee his place on the team at the original round tender price tag, as is assumed will be his value and cost the team roughly $3 million to keep.
If another team signs Jackson, the Rams will have the right to match any offer. If no team comes calling and he signs his tender, Jackson will be on the Rams in 2024 but there’s no guarantee the team won’t look for a replacement in free agency or the draft.
