The Baltimore Ravens reached agreement on a new contract with former Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom on Saturday. With the Ravens, Noteboom will serve as the swing tackle behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten, the starters at left tackle and right tackle, respectively. "To get Joseph Noteboom in here -- a veteran, talented guy, who's played on both sides, really to focus probably as a swing tackle as much as anything for us, and that's kind of where we really, really need that veteran presence -- as a swing tackle, play both sides - and then yes, he can pop down there at guard, but I think we'll be focusing on tackle," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Sunday. "But [it's] a really big signing for us. We're really excited. I talked to him last night. He's fired up, excited to be here." A third-round pick in 2018, Noteboom spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Rams and was part of the team that won Super Bowl LVI. Noteboom signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Rams in March 2022 but started just six games that season before tearing an Achilles tendon. He played in 14 games (eight starts) in 2023. Noteboom, 29, had an ankle injury in the Rams' 2024 season opener and went on injured reserve. He played in four games (four starts) for Los Angeles after he was activated from IR in November but was inactive for the Rams' two playoff games. After playing in the Big 12 at TCU, he has appeared in 71 games in his NFL career, making 35 starts. ESPN's Jamison Hensley and Sarah Barshop contributed to this report.
