Bears acquire Pro Bowl G Jonah Jackson from Rams

The Chicago Bears are set to acquire offensive lineman Jonah Jackson from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The trade will be finalized on March 12, marking the start of the new league year. Jackson, who has two years remaining on a three-year, $51 million contract with $34 million guaranteed, is expected to bolster the Bears' offensive line, a critical area of need after quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked 68 times last season. Jackson previously played under new Bears head coach Ben Johnson during his tenure with the Detroit Lions. Despite shoulder injuries limiting him to four games last season with the Rams, Jackson is recognized for his professionalism and potential to improve the Bears' line. Additionally, the Bears are speculated to target free agent Haason Reddick, a former Pro Bowler, to enhance their defense.
