It’s rarely easy in a locker room when a player gets traded, especially one who has been around the team for years. While his positional roommates understand the nature of the business and the circumstances surrounding the move, they know they’ll miss having fourth-year G Kevin Dotson around the meeting room.
They are equally sure that he will go on to have success. Now a member of the Los Angeles Rams following Sunday’s transaction, Dotson will go from fringe depth player in Pittsburgh to possible starter, while retaining his over $2.7 million base salary owed.
“Any way you look at it, he started a lot of games in this league”, fellow lineman Nate Herbig told Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
