Rams Cut Torry Holt

A day after the Rams cut their long-time franchise left tackle Orlando Pace, the Rams have rereleased one of the final members of their "Greatest Show on Turf " WR Torry Holt. By releasing the two verteran players the Rams saved $14 million in salary cap space. Holt was due a $1.25 million roster bonus on Tuesday.

"The Rams will forever be grateful for the way Torry Holt represented the Rams on the field and in the community," owner Chip Rosenbloom said. "Over the past 10 seasons Torry has proven himself to be one of the finest wide receivers in league history. This is a difficult decision because Torry has meant so much to the organization."

Holt, the sixth overall pick in the 1999 draft out of North Carolina State, ranks 11th in league history with 869 receptions and 14th with 12,660 receiving yards. His 80.1 yards-per-game career receiving average is the best in NFL history. He has also been to seven Pro Bowls.

These moves are an indication that the Rams are attempting to get younger and are rebuilding for the future, after finishing last season 2-12 and going 5-27 over the last two-seasons. Since the end of last season they've named a new general manager, Billy Devaley, a new coach, Steve Spagnuolo, cut several veteran players and signed three free agents from other teams.
