After weeks and weeks of waiting -- a period of time which included Torry Holt asking for his release and the Rams letting him know he wasn't welcome to workout with them -- the Rams have done the inevitable. Holt, one of the best receivers in franchise history, has been cut by the St. Louis Rams.
The move, along with cutting Orlando Pace earlier this week, will save the Rams upwards of $14 million in cap space. The Greatest Show on Turf is becoming more and more of a distant memory, as the roster is transformed to the liking of new head coach, Steve Spagnuolo.
During his decade-long stint in St. Louis, Holt established himself as one of the most prolific wide receivers in the NFL. Between 2000 and 2007, he caught at least 81 passes in each season. His lowest yardage total during that time was 1,188, and his lowest touchdown output was four. All told, Holt compiled 869 catches for 12,660 yards and 74 touchdowns. Perhaps most impressive, he only missed two games out of a possible 160.
Holt also established himself as a postseason performer, garnering 47 catches for 630 yards and four touchdowns in 10 playoff games -- including a 7-catch, 109 yard, one-touchdown effort in his first Super Bowl appearance.
The Holt of the past will be greatly missed in St. Louis, but his massive decline in numbers during the 2008 season could point to a decline in skills. The 32-year-old will attempt to catch on somewhere else and prove the down numbers weren't due to his personal declination at all, instead a product of a pathetic overall offense.
We'll have to wait another eight months or so before knowing the real answer. In the meantime, Torry Holt is a free agent.
