They have $95 million in cap space in 2026 and more cap than anyone in the league in 2027. They can sign FA’s to small first year cap hits and have small cap hits this year and push that money back.
If they really thought Alaric Jackson was as good as some people think they’d make sure he had no business entering the market.

For the Rams specifically it may just be philosophical.
As a matter of course, Les Snead just doesn't use the franchise tag. With Trumaine Johnson, he was undervalued on the tag vs. the market.
LeMarcus Joyner was a S on the tag and those are typically cheaper.
A $25 million cap hold for a good, not elite, OT doesn't seem to be Snead's MO. He's just not someone that's ever been very aggressive with the franchise tag.
