Coleman Shelton Signs with Rams

[CoachAllred]

Is it possible that the Rams think Shelton will play better between Avila and Dotson than he did between the Bears awful guards?

I am thinking,hoping he is still a backup at the middle three spots.
Geez I was praying for no guaranteed money. SMH.

This is almost as nauseating as I feel every time I see Reeder lining up at ILB.
OT I know, but I do hope we address ILB by the 4th rd. Omar needs a partner.

Fandom + NFL contracts + who "they" think is good or bad = sigh

For what it's worth.... decidedly mixed assessments of Shelton from Bears fans. A few excerpts from a thread from a month ago, prior to free agency:

"Coleman Shelton - 29 year old starting C for CHI - this is the guy we are trying to upgrade. Not much to add about Shelton beyond he started very poorly but finished the season better. He seemed to have the speed needed to block LBers at the 2nd level but looked out of this league bad when asked to handle pretty much any DT by himself. Probably a decent backup (granted with no real upside to improve anymore) but not someone you want to start if you can avoid it, Spielman says he gets 2 years $5M a pop."

"I just like that Shelton at least stays on the field and I can rely that he'll be on the field (even if he's maybe slightly below average at his job)."

"I’d stick with Shelton and draft a guy in the 4-7. He played better as the year progressed and they can’t just spend all their cap on IOL."

Name a successful FA O lineman Poles has brought in. I'll wait for the answer.... He's let them go to other teams more so than bringing them in
