Rams Rumors: Jonah Jackson, Colby Parkinson Agree to Contracts in NFL Free Agency

The Los Angeles Rams are solidifying their offensive line in the 2024 offseason.

The team reportedly signed to a three-year, $51 million deal that will include $34 million in guaranteed money, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

The team also agreed to sign tight end Colby Parkinson to a three-year, $22.5 million deal on Monday, according Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, and previously re-signed guard Kevin Dotson on a three-year, $48 million deal.

Matt Stafford should be plenty pleased with those investments. They'll supplement an offense that saw rookie wideout Puka Nacua (105 catches for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns) and second-year running back Kyren Williams (1,144 rushing yards, 32 catches for 206 yards, 15 total touchdowns) emerge as stars.

That helped the veteran quarterback put up excellent numbers himself (3,965 yards, 24 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, 30 sacks taken in 15 games) and bring the Rams back to the postseason. Add in veteran wideout Cooper Kupp, and the Rams are dangerous on the offensive side of the ball.

As for Monday's additions, the 27-year-old Jackson spent his first four NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions and was a Pro Bowler in the 2021 campaign. He should help improve the team's run game with his physical style and help keep Stafford upright.

Parkinson, 25, spent his first four seasons in Seattle. He doesn't offer much of a receiving threat, catching just 57 passes for 618 yards and four touchdowns in his career, but he's one of the better blocking tight ends in football.

The Rams have prioritized the trenches on the offensive side of the ball thus far this offseason, and if they can get more out of Parkinson in the passing game, he'll end up being a very nice signing for the team.
