Kevin Dotson has been a pleasant surprise since he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams for practically nothing in 2023, but it was no surprise that he got his $8 million guarantee on Saturday. Dotson’s three-year contract extension signed last year included $24 million guaranteed money, including his 2025 salary that just became fully guaranteed.
Dotson will earn a total of $16.5 million in 2025, including an $8.5 million roster bonus.
The sixth-year guard didn’t work out for the Pittsburgh Steelers after they made him a fourth round pick in 2020, so they traded him to the Rams for only two day three pick swaps just before the 2023 season.
