Chicago Bears Trade Sixth-Round Pick for Rams Guard Jonah Jackson
The Bears acquire the 2021 Pro Bowl lineman despite a disappointing, injury-riddled season with the Rams.
- The Chicago Bears are trading a 2025 sixth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Rams for offensive lineman Jonah Jackson, a move that will be finalized when the new league year begins on March 12.
- Jackson, 28, signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Rams in 2024 but played only four games due to injuries and was benched for most of the season.
- The Bears are taking on Jackson's entire $17.5 million salary for the 2025 season as part of the deal, adding a veteran presence to their offensive line.
- New Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who previously coached Jackson during his Pro Bowl season with the Detroit Lions, is expected to play a key role in his integration into the team.
- The acquisition comes as the Bears look to overhaul their offensive line after allowing a league-high 68 sacks last season, with three interior linemen set to enter free agency.
