The Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line in 2023 improved substantially from what they did in 2022.
The offensive line allowed 47 hurries (7th), 56 hits (14th), 162 pressures (5th), a 26.5% pressure percentage (3rd), and 59 sacks (3rd) in 2022, vs. 29 hurries (26th), 48 hits (15th), 111 pressures (27th), a 17.4% pressure percentage (27th), and 34 sacks (27th) in 2023.
Los Angles plans on tendering one of their free agent agent offenisve lineman.
The Los Angeles Rams plan on tendering their left tackle
Los Angeles placed a 2nd-round tender on Alaric Jackson, worth $4.89 million. Jackson can sign offer sheets from other teams, which Los Angeles can match. If Los Angeles doesn’t match the offer sheet, they will be granted a 2nd-round pick.
Los Angeles signed Alaric Jackson as an UDFA in 2021
Jackson went undrafted in 2021, and Los Angeles signed him as an undrafted free agent. Jackson made the 53-man roster in his rookie season and appeared in four games with zero penalties, one sack allowed, and a 70.2 PFF Grade.
Jackson entered the 2022 season as a backup offensive lineman. An injury to Bobby Evans and Joseph Noteboom allowed Jackson to start in Weeks 3-6 and 7-8. His season was cut short because he was diagnosed with blood clots, and he finished with two penalties, two sacks allowed, and a 64.1 PFF Grade.
Jackson beat out Noteboom for the starting left tackle job in 2023. Jackson started in 15 games and missed one with a hamstring and one with a thigh injury. He had three penalties, one sack allowed, and a 66.2 PFF Grade in the regular season. He also had zero penalties, zero sacks allowed, and a 65.8 PFF Grade in the postseason.
If Jackson stays in Los Angeles, their offensive line will likely have four starters back in 2024
If Jackson stays with Los Angeles, their offensive line will have at least four of their five starters heading into next season, as Coleman Shelton exercised his player option and is an unrestricted free agent, while Kevin Dotson, Steve Avila, and Rob Havenstein are under contract.
