Kevin Dotson Secures $48M Deal with Rams, Avoids Free Agency

The three-year contract highlights Dotson's key role in the Rams' offensive line success and playoff appearance last season.

Kevin Dotson, right guard for the Los Angeles Rams, has agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract, with $32 million guaranteed, effectively skipping free agency.
The deal positions Dotson among the NFL's top-paid guards, reflecting his pivotal role in enhancing the Rams' offensive line and contributing to their playoff run last season.
Dotson's performance last season, particularly as a run-blocker, was instrumental in the Rams' offensive improvement, moving from 25th to 11th in NFL yards rushing.
The Rams acquired Dotson from the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, a move that has been highly beneficial, considering Dotson's significant impact and minimal trade cost.
Dotson's re-signing is part of the Rams' broader strategy to solidify their offensive line, with plans to place a restricted tender on starting left tackle Alaric Jackson.
