Is it me, or do her feet look fucking huge? They're like a Rex Ryan "All you can eat" buffet.
The Los Angeles Rams have allowed offensive guard Jonah Jackson to seek a trade, less than a year after he signed a three-year, $51 million contract. The move will alleviate some cap issues for Los Angeles, but ultimately it will mean the team will need to re-fix the offensive line.
A trade may be hard to come by considering how poorly Jackson played in 2024. He played in just four games this past season while dealing with injuries, but was good enough in previous seasons to earn a big contract. Even still, ESPN's Ben Solak believes there is a market for Jackson. Solak writes the Rams would likely only get a late-round pick back for the veteran guard.
Solak writes that the "perfect trade outcome" for Jackson is a deal to the New England Patriots. In this scenario, the Rams sent Jackson and 2026 seventh-round pick to the Patriots for New England's 2026 sixth-round pick. Not a lot, but better than nothing.
The Jackson deal was a mistake given how 2024 unfolded, but at least general manager Les Snead appears interested in remedying the situation. It remains to be seen, though, if there is a market for the veteran at all.

It makes sense that, at this point, the Rams would only be looking to recoup some cap flexibility in a trade. A sixth-for-seventh swap isn't ideal, but the Rams scouting department has proven to find quality players that late in the draft, anyway.

Well hopefully he hits the market. Like the idea of filling OT with free agents and possibly drafting a guard. If we are picking a player at #4 I want it to be Travis Hunter, otherwise I'd like to see them trade down a bit and get an extra pick in that top 40-ish range.
