The Los Angeles Rams were surprisingly active on the first day of the free agency tampering period Monday, wasting no time getting their own offensive linemen under contract. The first deal they made was with Joseph Noteboom, agreeing to a three-year deal worth up to $47.5 million.
It’s a big extension for a player who’s never been a full-time starter at left tackle, but it was a smart move by the Rams to secure the versatile lineman for several more years.
And looking at the breakdown of the contract, it’s not as costly as it seems on the surface – especially in the first year. According to Spotrac, Noteboom’s cap hit is only $3.5 million in 2022.
