Rams' offseason free-agent pickup is wilting under unexpected pressure

The Los Angeles Rams addressed the offensive line challenges of 2024 with multiple free-agent signings, including center Coleman Shelton, offensive tackle D.J. Humphries, and offensive tackle David Quessenberry. It was hoped that they would reinforce an O-line that seemed to have promising debuts by rookies Beaux Limmer and Justin Dedich.

The 2024 season was saturated with the challenges of swapping out linemen to the point where it seemed to be second nature. LA trialed offensive linemen Steve Avila, Jonah Jackson, and finally Limmer as the starting center before settling on the latter. But the Arkansas alumnus struggled in the playoffs, prompting the team to sign its former 2023 starting center to resume his starting role this season.
