Joe Noteboom reworks contract to stay with Rams, lowers cap hit by $8.4M

The Los Angeles Rams knew they had to do something about Joe Noteboom’s contract this offseason, given his $20 million cap hit. As a projected backup, his cap hit was much too high for the Rams’ liking so he would either have to be cut or take a pay cut.

Noteboom has opted for the latter, lowering his cap hit to save the Rams some money in 2024. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Noteboom agreed to a reworked contract that includes nearly $7 million in guarantees and allows him to earn up to $14 million.

Over The Cap has noted that his cap hit drops from $20 million to $11.6 million, saving the Rams $8.4 million this year alone.

Noteboom started the year at right guard last season but got injured and never reclaimed his starting spot. He did fill in at left tackle and right tackle when Alaric Jackson and Rob Havenstein were out, but he failed to stick around as a full-time starter.

The Rams signed him to a three-year, $40 million contract in 2022 but he’s started just 14 games since then, dealing with several injuries.
