Former Detroit Lions starting cornerback Jerry Jacobs has found a new NFL home. Jacobs is signing with the Los Angeles Rams after also taking visits with the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers recently.

Jacobs was one of Detroit’s best undrafted free agent stories of the last few seasons. After going undrafted out of Arkansas in 2021, the feisty cornerback earned not only a roster spot but a starting role as a rookie. He played in 40 games over his three years in Detroit, with 29 starts. In 2023, Jacobs started 12 games and set career-highs with 55 tackles and three INTs.

However, the Lions opted to not offer Jacobs a restricted free agency tender, making him able to sign with any other team.

He joins a Rams unit that recently lost projected starting CB Derion Kendrick to a torn ACL.
