The Bears agreed to a one-year contract with center Coleman Shelton, the team announced Thursday.

Shelton was serviceable and flanked by great guards in Avila and Dotson.

Well, now we know why they signed a guard and re-signed Dotson.

Man. Shelton should fire his agent. Goes from being the starter in LA re-negotiating his contract to competing for a job with the Bears

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Im sure he could have gotten a better deal here as a multi year starter. Bad move Shelton.

For sure, although I’m happy with how things shook out with Avila moving to C to be flanked by Jackson and Dotson. I’m thinking that will be a more formidable interior than what we had last year with Shelton.

 

[Jacobarch]

Damn, that's rough

 

[OldSchool]

Good for him.

 

[Ramhusker]

Good luck Shelton.

 

[CoachAllred]

Never a huge fan seen him on skating backwards a bit too much. Hope he does well for Bears

 

[jjab360]

He was serviceable. Avila has the chance to be special at that position though

 Jonah Jackson has played center as well, so he can back up Steve if Avila gets hurt. If Steve struggles at first with the OL calls, Matthew Stafford has made OL calls before in Detroit. He even mentored his Detroit center with the OL calls, and that center eventually played in the Pro Bowl.

Underdog story and he worked hard to earn a ring and then a starting job.

Well done really.

Enjoyed watching him develop into a starter.

Good luck Coleman.

Man did he screw up.

And he's in Chicago.

I mentioned before whether McCalister can be on the Shelton track as a developmental back up center or do they draft a guy late? Or sign a cheap aging vet or camp cut.

Draft one late or add a couple UDFAs and let McCalister win that role in camp if he can. Competition is key.

Man did he screw up.

Can't wait to see what he signed for. I hope for his sake it's more than his opt out deal would have been, which was $4M

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

The Rams didn't screw around with the Oline. They pivoted to Jackson pretty quickly.

 

[RAMSinLA]

Avila is a center, he will be one of the biggest centers in the league and we got Stafford's old Lions LG Jackson. The Rams are building a running offense.
K. Williams is very happy today.
