Torry Holt has requested to be released by the Rams

The Rams have found no takers while shopping Holt, likely because the rest of the league knows they won't pay his $1.25M roster bonus on March 17. Failing to exercise the bonus would terminate Holt's contract and make him a free agent. The Rams probably aren't going to get anything for him.

What do you guys think after getting Lewis I guess seeing him come here doesn't seem as feasible as thought before.

I'd actually like to see if the Steelers will give him a call. We could use him for sure with Sweed still young and Nate Washington now a Titan. Doubt my front office will give a call, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in the Black and Gold with Ward and Holmes and Miller on passing downs.

I kind of doubt Holt would have been coming here, regardless. To me it looks like Lewis is taking Kelley Washington's spot. His contract is low enough - under $700k - that it shouldn't affect another signing one way or the other. However, I see the Pats looking at Gaffney's replacement as somebody that will be paid in about the same manner as Jabar was last year - about $1.2 million. In my opinion Holt will be looking for a lot more than that.

But if the Steelers want to go after Holt, wouldn't it have made more sense to have just kept Nate Washington? I think just like the Pats are replacing Kelley Washington with a player with a similar cap figure, and will do the same with Gaffney, the Steelers will probably look to replace Nate Washington with a player who has a similar cap number as he had last year - about $1.4 million, I believe. Holt won't equal his last contract - his current cap number is anout $8 million - but I think he'll still get a lot more than what the Steelers or Pats are looking to pay to fill that position.
