Noteboom

[ocram23]

Haven't seen a lot of talk about our LT yesterday but what a game he played. He just made himself a ton of money. Hope they re-sign him

[Rammo]

Do we have first refusal rights - restricted FA?

[UtahRam]

He was awesome! The whole line has played really well this year. My biggest question going into the season.

[toast49]

Rams can probably sign Noteboom if they move on from Whitworth this off season

[whatever]

Noteboom will be a UFA in March 2022. There is no reason for him to re-sign with the Rams before March unless they tag him or offer him more money than they think any other team will offer him as a FA. The Rams shouldn't tag him, or pay him, and I don't think they will. Noteboom is an average or above average starting young LT. I expect him to be a $9M+ decision for other teams, and his price could go way above that. The Rams can't afford to pay both Whitworth and Noteboom and have 1 of them sit on the bench. I believe the Rams will commit to Whitworth.

I would sign Noteboom over Whit. you have to look towards the future and if there isn't much of a drop off then it's a no brainer.

[Rammo]

My hope is that Whitworth and Weddle are both put on the coaching staff. If there’s an emergency next year, they come in and play.

This would be pure genius-wouldn't count against cap - circumventing the expense of a back up plan-sweet!

[Timking124]

Noteboom is going to get a big contract by us or another team, he is that good.

I have a feeling that he leaves because there will be plenty of suitors with deeper pockets.

Understandable, but I don't see the team cutting Whitworth. He's almost Rams family and i'd hate to see him ending his career in Seattle on a 1 year revenge contract. I get the impression Noteboom will want, and accept, the highest offer whereas Whitworth will play for less than market value if he can stay. Then again he may want to retire for all I know. I wouldn't out-bid the market for Noteboom.

[Truth]

Noteboom is a guy Rams have developed, and is in his prime,so I’d keep him and let Whitworth go. No team needs a 41 year old LT.

Rams can be happy they got as much out of Whitworth at the end of his career and let a guy in his prime guy take over .

Agreed

Whit won "Pass Blocker of the Year" by PFF this year at 40. I'd estimate there are 24 teams that would view him as an upgrade this offseason.
