The Chicago Bears are expected to sign center Coleman Shelton to a one-year deal, according to Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs.
Shelton, an undrafted free agent in 2018, started all 17 games at center for the Los Angeles Rams last season. He started all 13 games he appeared in during the 2022 season, where he split time between left guard, center and right guard.
In 2023, Shelton allowed 34 QB pressures, 2.0 sacks, 11 hits and 21 hurries.

This is the second offensive line move the Bears have made this offseason. They previously agreed to terms on a trade for Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Ryan Bates, pending a physical.
Center was one of the team’s biggest remaining needs through the first few days of free agency. Now, there are two center options on the roster in Shelton and Bates. The expectation is Shelton and Bates will compete for the starting center position this offseason.
