Long time St. Louis Ram, Torry Holt, has reportedly asked the team for his release.
Holt is a 7 time Pro Bowler and is the last big name piece of the Rams’ Greatest Show on Turf days. He has averaged 80 receiving yards per game over his 10 year career, but struggled mightily last season, making just 64 catches and three touchdowns.
The Rams have been rumored to be trying to trade both Holt and Orlando Pace, but have so far received little interest in either. And, with free agent wide receivers being signed across the league, Holt is hoping to be released quickly in order to catch on with another team as a starter.
If the Rams are unable to find a team willing to Trade for the veteran wide-out, they will likely release him before the 17th when Holt would be due a roster bonus of $1.25 million. The move would save the Rams an estimated $8 million in salary cap space.
