General manager Les Snead announced that the Los Angeles Rams have signed veteran center Coleman Shelton to a two-year contract worth $12 million. This move, seen as a response to the team's previous playoff miscommunication issues, prioritizes on-field communication. Shelton's experience is expected to enhance the Rams' offensive line, particularly after a challenging season for second-year player Beaux Limmer, who will now serve as a backup.

With Shelton's signing, the Rams aim to solidify their center position, a crucial post that affects the entire offensive line's performance. The team is focused on improving their communication, especially in critical game situations, to prevent breakdowns like those experienced in their playoff loss to the Eagles. Limmer's development will continue, but Shelton's presence is expected to provide the necessary leadership and tactical adjustment capabilities to avoid past mistakes.
