St. Louis Rams receiver Torry Holt asks for his release
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Realizing he no longer fits in the team’s plans, seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Torry Holt has asked for his release from the Rams, league sources told the Post-Dispatch on Wednesday.
The Rams have been shopping Holt, 32, on the trade market, but so far there have been no takers. Holt is due a $1.25 million roster bonus on March 17, so it’s unlikely he will be a Ram beyond then.
But with free-agent wide receivers being signed daily around the NFL, and hundreds of millions of dollars already spent six days into free agency, Holt is seeking some closure to his time in St. Louis.
Still a great receiver. Can you say - Dallas?
i really wish we could keep Torry and he would retire a Ram…but the Rams need the Cap Space and he is obviously looking to go somewhere where he can contend for a championship…can’t blame him…last 3+ years have been awfull here…let’s just hope he will go into the Hall of Fame as a Ram when it’s his time. Honestly, I think he has at least 3 very good years in him…let’s be honest, is Crabtree gonna be as reliable as Torry Holt in his first 3 years as Holt will be in his next 3?…Holt is still one of the smartest receivers in the league and one of the best route runners…nobody runs the deep in like Torry and Ike…we will probably be watching Torry tear up the league on another team and wish we still had him…
Holt has been great for the Rams but I think this needs to be done from both sides.
great player sad to see him go
As a Giants fan, I’d take Holt right now for a 2nd rounder. Or I’d be happy to sign him once he’s released. Just the kind of player we could use to insure our Plax debacle, and maybe teach a young guy from the draft a thing or two during his tenure.
I think that we should release Torry Holt! No one should be forced to play for a team they don’t like! It’s not good for the team but we need players on the Rams that want to play for them!
I dont blame him but still stay holt new Qb thats what i say
