This kid answers the bell. He is still developing. He is doing a good job.
No, he's not an All-Pro and it is unlikely that he will be. My response to that is....so what? You can't have a line up of stars because the salary cap is meant to prevent that except perhaps for a single "all-in" season.
I would be happy to see Jackson sign a 3 year deal, allowing him to have a big second contract if he does really well, but allowing the Rams to have a pretty decent LT who has proven he works well within their system. How much? Maybe something like 3 years $20 mil, maybe 6 or 7 mil guaranteed (in other words, his first year guaranteed).
I don’t think that you are missing anything, rock. I agree totally with your above assessment.
My two favorite options for Jackson are to extend him, or at least tender him at a second round, rate. I thought, too, that he’s good enough to be our left offensive tackle for the next three or more years.
