The Los Angeles Rams confirmed on Wednesday that they have re-signed offensive lineman David Quessenberry to a one-year contract, continuing their partnership for the upcoming NFL season. This move secures Quessenberry, a seasoned player, to the Rams’ roster as they prepare to build on last year’s campaign.
Quessenberry’s Professional Journey and Health Battles
David Quessenberry, now 35, was originally selected by the Houston Texans in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Despite signing a four-year rookie contract, his early career was disrupted when he was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2014, sidelining him for multiple seasons. After his recovery, Quessenberry spent time on the Texans’ non-football injury list in 2016, and subsequently moved between the practice squad and active rosters.
Following his release by Houston after the 2018 training camp, Quessenberry joined the Tennessee Titans, oscillating between their practice squad and active roster through 2019 and 2020. The Titans chose not to tender him as a restricted free agent in 2022, after which he signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. In August 2023, he joined the Minnesota Vikings and secured another one-year contract there for the 2024 season.
Recent Performance and Impact with the Rams
Quessenberry joined the Los Angeles Rams last year on a one-year deal and appeared in 13 games during the 2025 season. His experience and depth on the offensive line have provided the Rams with valuable flexibility as they strengthen their squad. By extending his contract, the Rams retain a dependable player familiar with their system and ready to contribute in the upcoming season.
