If I told you the Los Angeles Rams could sign a Super Bowl-winning and former Pro Bowl cornerback for pennies on the dollar you wouldn’t believe me, right?
Well, believe it.
The Rams may have lucked out when they tried out and signed former Green Bay Packers CB Sam Shields. Shields is an eight-year veteran who has amassed over 240 tackles, 66 pass deflections, and 18 interceptions. And yes, he’s also a Super Bowl champion, and former pro bowler in 2014.
Why was Shields available and for so cheap?
