As soon as Los Angeles Rams venerable right tackle Rob Havenstein announced his retirement, a chain of events began. Havenstein, a long-standing starter as the anchor to the offensive line's right side, is hanging up his cleats. And his absence from the roster could compel general manager Les Snead to take drastic measures.
He was expected to address the vacancy with a huge investment in the upcoming NFL draft. Instead, he has chosen the road less travelled.
Snead just extended veteran right tackle David Quessenberry. While it seems like an underwhelming move, the strategy is worthy of a chess Grandmaster.
