The Los Angeles Rams have a Joe Noteboom problem. For the past six years, the Rams have tried to make Noteboom one of their starting offensive linemen. Every time they’ve tried, something has gone wrong and it simply hasn’t happened.
In 2019, the Rams attempted to play Noteboom at left guard after spending a third-round pick on him the year before. Noteboom got hurt in Week 6 and missed the rest of the season.
Last year, the Rams inked Noteboom to a three year, $40M contract extension. He started Week 1 at left tackle, taking over for Andrew Whitworth, a player he had been learning behind for four years.
