ExtremeRavens Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The Ravens continued to add depth to their offensive line on Saturday. Veteran offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom agreed on a contract with Baltimore, the team announced. Terms were not disclosed. Noteboom, 29, was a third-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 and appeared in 71 games (35 starts) during that span. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman has also been injury prone. Named a starter at left guard in 2019 after spending his rookie season as a backup, Noteboom tore his ACL and MCL in Week 6 and missed the rest of the year. The following season, he was limited to 10 games because of a calf injury. In 2021, he appeared in all 17 regular-season games. He also won a Super Bowl, with the Rams defeating the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium. Noteboom then signed a three-year, $40 million extension and started at left tackle after Andrew Whitworth retired but suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 6, again ending his season. He returned for 14 games in 2023 but last season was limited to four games after suffering an ankle injury in Week 1. Noteboom has also been inconsistent with his pass blocking the past few seasons, giving up 11 sacks, per Pro Football Focus, since 2022 after allowing just one in a full season in 2021. He does, however, provide versatility, with 1,234 career snaps at left tackle, 494 at left guard, 444 at right tackle and 180 at right guard. His addition fills a need as well. Versatile left guard Patrick Mekari, who played all five positions during his tenure with Baltimore, signed a three-year, $37.5 million free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason, while reserve tackle Josh Jones signed a one-year, $4.8 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks. The Ravens also added three offensive lineman through the draft, using a third-round pick on tackle Emery Jones Jr., who could also potentially play guard, a fifth-round pick on developmental tackle Carson Vinson and a seventh-round pick on guard Garrett Dellinger.
