Rams tackle Rob Havenstein announced his retirement on Instagram on Tuesday. The 11-year veteran goes out with 148 career starts in the regular season, two Super Bowls, and one championship. A great career for a former second round pick out of Wisconsin who has always been a solid presence on the right side of the offensive line.

Havenstein missed 10 games in 2025 and ultimately was usurped by Warren McClendon, a breakout player for the offensive line this past season.

But Havenstein gave the Rams everything they could have hoped for and more over the past 11 years, locking down a key position at right tackle and being a reliable presence until a series of injuries in the last few years.

The Rams should be OK off at right tackle with McClendon, but the veteran leadership presence that Havenstein provided won't be easily replaced in the locker room moving forward.
