He just seems a little worn down.
That's not how the final preseason game works
At this point McVay knows who is on the roster with very very few exceptions.
They restructured him five months ago, in order to get under the salary cap. I believe they made it so Boom has a smaller cap hit in 2023 but a larger hit in 2024.
I can't say I understand cap implications that well, but here's an excerpt from RamsWire article about Noteboom trade speculation:

Yeah but I blasted it then and even more now because he hasn't locked down any starting job. Unfortunately, I'm going to guess that the Rams will try to start him somewhere as opposed to admitting they fucked up here hence why he's been moved around.
Yeah, that's fair. I think I misinterpreted the numbersI can't say I understand cap implications that well, but here's an excerpt from RamsWire article about Noteboom trade speculation:
"If the Rams were to trade Noteboom, they would save $1.5 million in cap space this year, $5 million in 2024 and $10 million in 2025. If that doesn’t sound like a move the Rams would strongly consider, I don’t know what does. After all, they’re focused on clearing money in 2024 and 2025."
I'd agree that the Rams couldn't get much in return for Noteboom, but it sounds to me like the cap savings might be worth it despite the dead money hit?

McVay's vague comments on Joe Noteboom's absence create trade speculation
Sean McVay said Joe Noteboom won’t practice this week but he was very vague about it. Could the Rams be trying to trade him?
He usually knows by now. But there could be a couple guys he wants to see more of. My guess is the game will be a combination of guys auditioning for other teams or the practice squad and a few guys who will be on the 53 but need more game experience.That's not how the final preseason game works
I think that is Jake Ellenbooger or whatever his name is. Hair like Degeneris, content like a booger.
