Marcus Peters won’t be the only cornerback joining the Rams this year.
The team announced on Thursday that former Packers corner Sam Shields has signed with the team as a free agent. Shields recently visited with the Rams and also met with the Browns in an effort to resume his playing career.
It has been a while since Shields has been on the field. He suffered a concussion in the first week of the 2016 season and missed the rest of the year. He was released by the Packers last February and did not catch on anywhere else.
