The Los Angeles Rams followed up their Super Bowl 56 victory with an all-time Super Bowl hangover in the 2022 season, finishing 5-12 as their offense completely fell apart behind a decaying offensive line.
Thus, they went into last offseason with a clear need to upgrade the blocking unit in front of Matthew Stafford, and one of the more peculiar moves they made was swapping mid-round draft picks with the Pittsburgh Steelers for a chance to take a flier on guard Kevin Dotson.
That move paid off handsomely, as Dotson was PFF’s second-ranked guard in all of football last year. Now, per Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, the Rams are re-signing Dotson on a three-year deal worth $48 million, with $32 million guaranteed.
The extension ensures that L.A.’s offensive line will have some much-needed continuity next season. After their return to the playoffs last year, the Rams will have big expectations for 2024, and they’ll need their offense to do some heavy lifting if they want to achieve their lofty goals.
