After some recent rumblings that Sam Shields was on the comeback trail, he now officially has his chance.
It was announced late Thursday afternoon that Shields was signed by the Los Angeles Rams. No word yet about the details of Shields’ contract. Reports indicate Shields had been drawing interest from both the Rams and the Cleveland Browns.
If Shields is able to play near his former abilities, it will be a big coup for the Rams, who also brought in disgruntled ex-Chiefs star Marcus Peters via trade this offseason, and Thursday night announced they traded a 5th round pick for Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib.
