It will be interesting to see just how prominent a role Jackson plays for the Rams. If Los Angeles doesn't bring Josh Reynolds back in free agency, Jackson could end up as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods.

There's little doubt that Jackson can offer quarterback Matthew Stafford a field-stretching option when he's on the field. Given his two injury-plagued seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, however, it's fair to question just how much the 34-year-old has left in the tank. 

Jackson has played in just eight games the past two seasons, posting 23 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns in that time. It wasn't the reunion Jackson and the Eagles were hoping for, one of a number of things that didn't go as planned for the 4-11-1 Eagles in 2020. 

Still, Jackson in his prime was one of the best deep threats in football. Few players could stretch defenses or make plays down the field like he routinely did. Still, injuries have prevented Jackson from reaching the 1,000-yard mark since 2016. 

The Rams don't need him to be a true focal point in the passing game. Kupp and Woods have that covered. But if he can offer them a solid, big-play option as a third receiver, the Rams offense could be nasty.
