Sean McVay: Rams in talks with Coleman Shelton, ‘would really like’ to keep him

Three of the Rams’ five starting offensive linemen could hit the free-agent market this offseason, which would lead to some significant changes up front in Los Angeles. One of those players is Coleman Shelton, who signed a two-year extension with the Rams last offseason.

Because Shelton played 55% of the snaps in 2023, he has a chance to void the final year of his contract, which comes with a $2 million salary and a cap hit of $5 million. It hasn’t yet been reported whether Shelton will void his deal and hit free agency, but the Rams would like him back either way.

Sean McVay told reporters on Thursday that the Rams have been in talks with Shelton’s agent and “would really like” to keep him in Los Angeles.

Shelton played all 17 regular-season games this year and was on the field for a career-high 1,171 snaps. He allowed 36 pressures but only two snaps and earned a run-blocking grade of 74.6 from Pro Football Focus.

He’s not a star center by any means, but for the right price, he can be a good starter for Los Angeles, at least for another season.
