Lions Could Reunite with Former Pro Bowler Jonah Jackson If Circumstances Align

As the 2024 free agency period unfolded, it became evident that guard Jonah Jackson wouldn’t be returning to the Detroit Lions. Instead, he capitalized on the market surge, signing a three-year, $51 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams.

However, Jackson’s first season in L.A. was far from ideal. A shoulder injury in training camp didn’t sideline him for Week 1—where he started at center against the Lions—but he fractured his scapula in Week 2. After missing several weeks, he returned in Week 10 but struggled and was benched in favor of rookie Beaux Limmer. He only played again in the Rams’ regular-season finale, starting at right guard.

Given his underwhelming season, NFL.com’s Matt Okuda recently listed Jackson as a potential cut candidate for the Rams. Releasing him outright would result in $11.3 million in dead cap while saving only $3.3 million in 2025. However, a post-June 1 designation could free up $9 million.

If Jackson does become available, AtoZ Sports’ Mike Payton sees a potential path for a Lions reunion. While Detroit is likely to retain Kevin Zeitler and could develop rookie Christian Mahogany, Jackson could be an option if the team moves on from Graham Glasgow and wants to ease Mahogany’s transition.

Jackson earned a Pro Bowl nod with the Lions in 2021, but injuries have plagued his career since. While a return isn’t imminent, the possibility remains on the table—though it would require several dominoes to fall in Detroit’s favor.
