Slater Will Return for His 18th Season With the Rams

Tackle Jackie Slater said Tuesday he will return this fall for his 18th season with the Rams.

Slater ranks 13th on the all-time NFL list in games played with 238--all with the Rams. Slater will move into a tie for fifth on the all-time seasons played list.

“I’m feeling good,” Slater said in a statement. “I still love doing what I’m doing and I’m looking forward to being a part of turning the Rams’ team around this year.”

Slater, who has been to seven Pro Bowls and has been named NFL offensive lineman of the year four times, also was named to the Black College Football 100th-Year All-Time Team this month. He is a graduate of Jackson (Miss.) State University.
