Holt released by Rams

[SFREDSKIN]

Sooner or later someone was going to post this.

The Rams release wide receiver Torry Holt on Friday - ESPN

[GusFrerotte]

If we can get him for the right price, I say go for it. Our Wr corp sucks and the jury is out whether these rooks are ever going to pan out for another year or two.

Getting Holt would be far more impressive to me than getting Haynesworth.
I really don't know if it is feasible though..It sure would be cool!
I can dream cant I?

I love it how predictable this has all become...we see somebody on the waiver wire and think wow..he'd be a great fit..

we have guys with an upside..and fans that are so impatient

in practically every case the difference between a rookie and a second year receiver is huge..will they pan out?..who knows?..I say worry about Campbell and if he even possesses the ability to have people improve around him..

Linking all three of last season's drafted receivers unilaterally flat out is wrong..

Pass.

Why would you say that...our offense sucks...Holt is fantastic...is it because of the money we'd have to pay to get him?
Are you in love with ARE or the other nobodys?
Imagine Moss and Holt while grooming the rookies...odds are 1 of em wont make it.
It is arguable that Holt is better than Moss

He is a high impact player...one that I believe we should go after hard

Are you really serious? Holt is 33 and ain't getting any younger. We have two young WR'S that need to prove their worth. It makes no sense to get Holt, were not in fantasy football. Our offense does not suck, and Holt it is not even close to Moss talent wise. Seriously dude, quit grabbin on Holt's jock, HE'S NOT THAT GOOD!! There's a reason why the Rams didn't pay the roster bonus to keep him. That alone should tell you something.

Is "Roster Bonus Year" code for "year he will get cut no matter"? Seems like most teams would keep some veterans or at least not go through the motions of cutting just to resign if there were no roster bonus provisions.

I agree. We've got two young WRs to develop, it doesn't make much sense to chase an aging WR who has clearly lost a step. We have other more pressing needs.

Has he lost a step? I don't know that. He played for a very bad team that beat the Skins 19-17. A home game at that. Kelly knees I am not sold on and most likly was a bad pick. Thomas I hope makes it. As for Holt I love to see if he has anything left but we don't have the cash anyway. Dose Pace have anything left? If he did could he move over to RT for a few years?

Two young Wrs that are more than likely going to be Taylor Jacobs redux, not to mention a shorty in Moss that is getting banged up, and ARE that is unreliable. Face it, Holt is an upgrade even with his age.

I know Holt's age...he's got 3 solid years left...he is a 7 time probowler...the rookies have shown zero so far and ARE is average at best...yes Moss is solid...if he is on the field...if he goes down we have no WR threats...
and the offense does suck...what...I think 28th in the league or something?
How's that good?

Holt hasn't missed a game ....EVER...keep that in mind.
He is rock solid and I'm telling you...if the Eagles or Dallas get's him, they are instantly better...we would be too...just because Taylor didn't do well, doesn't mean Holt wouldn't...I bet if you were offered Holt prior to last year yardage drop, you'd be humping his leg....be realistic...there is NO chance either of the Rookies will ever reach Holts level....quite frankly, I doubt Moss will either...and no way ARE even belongs in the same sentance.
Holt is solid...he would make the WR team instantly better...unless you think Thrash is our clutch vet that can train up the rookies....Duh back to you.

Sometimes I'm glad fans aren't GM's because we'd really suck. First off the reason why our offense "sucked" was because our pass pro was awful, it was not the receivers fault. Many people have already said this, you have to give Kelley and Thomas a chance to develope, 1 year is not enough. Don't you realize WR is not a need? What does that tell Thomas and Kelley if we got Holt? You were probably one of those guys that wanted TO in DC. He's 33 and declining it makes no sense to sign him considering he played in the spread O not the WCO. What's up with this love fetish w/ Holt? WE'RE NOT PLAYING FANTASY FOOTBALL DUDE!!! You can't have every big name FA that gets released, you have to be realistic, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN BUDDY!

if you could get holt or harrison in super cheap, it might be worthwhile to have them help the rookies... i don't know how much they'd want though.

The only thing that's going to help the young guys are themselves. They've already got two pros in front of them in Moss and ARE. I don't think we need Holt or Harrison.
