A Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers, Adam Timmerman signed with the St. Louis Rams and helped protect the offensive line for one of the most exciting offenses of the late 1990s and early 2000s. For what it is worth, Timmerman made history by becoming the first player in NFL history to win and lose a Super Bowl with two different teams.

The path to the Rams began after four seasons in Green Bay. Drafted in the seventh round in 1995 out of South Dakota State, Timmerman started every game from 1996 through 1998 and won Super Bowl XXXI. Following the 1998 season, he hit free agency. In February 1999, the Rams signed him to a five-year deal (reportedly in the $19 million range) to fortify the right side of the line. Line coach Jim Hanifan later called the addition “the missing link.”

Timmerman stepped in immediately as a full-time starter and became a foundational piece of the Greatest Show on Turf. In 1999, he started all 16 games as the Rams went 13-3 and won Super Bowl XXXIV. He returned to the Super Bowl after the 2001 season, starting in the loss to New England in Super Bowl XXXVI. That 2001 campaign also earned him a Pro Bowl selection (he was also called in as an alternate in 1999 due to injuries) and second-team All-Pro honors. He remained a reliable right guard through the mid-2000s, serving as team captain from 2003 to 2005 while the offense stayed potent under Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, and the receiving corps. His durability was exceptional—he started nearly every game he played in St. Louis.

After the 2006 season, the Rams released him on February 27, 2007. Timmerman officially retired following that campaign.  He started 124 of his 126 games for the club.
