Rams re-sign Dotson to 3-year contract worth reported $48M

The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms on a three-year extension with guard Kevin Dotson, the team announced Thursday.

Dotson's deal will be for $48 million, sources told Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The pact includes $32 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It will make him one of the highest-paid guards in the league.

Los Angeles acquired Dotson along with a fourth- and sixth-round pick in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers last August for a 2024 fourth-round selection and a 2025 fifth-rounder.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a strong 2023 campaign, starting 14 games. He was PFF's second-highest-graded guard and only allowed 24 pressures on 561 pass-blocking snaps.

Dotson's specialty is in the run game, as he was a key cog for a Rams team that ranked 11th in yards per carry last season. Los Angeles' offense was one of the biggest surprises of 2023, finishing eighth in points per contest.
