Oh, snap: The Rams still need a centerAlden Gonzalez

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams still have a glaring need on their roster; one that directly impacts franchise quarterback Jared Goff.
They needs someone to snap him the ball.
The Rams released Tim Barnes, who started each of the past 32 games at center, as part of a series of cost-cutting moves a couple of weeks ago. And they're still in search of his replacement. They signed Ryan Groy to an offer sheet, but the Bills matched it. So the Rams have had to move on. They'll continue to look toward the free-agent market, but they will eventually look to manufacture some depth in-house, as well.
The only center on the Rams' roster is Demetrius Rhaney, a seventh-round pick from 2014 who has started only one game. New head coach Sean McVay recently said the Rams would look to "cross-train" some of their guards at center as a means to shore up the position.
Mostly, though, the Rams need help from the outside. On Monday, they hosted John Sullivan, one of few remaining free-agent centers who could be a fit.
He is among five key unrestricted free agents to watch at the position.
